People: New deputies in Angola as defence expert gets top Israel IT job

Angola's president José Eduardo dos Santos has named Florence Cristina Dias Van-Dunem and Gualberto Lima Campos as deputy governors of the National Bank of Angola. The pair will assume the vacated roles from António André Lopes and Ricardo Viegas de Abreu.

The Angolan central bank did not state why the changes have been made. But the move looks like part of a wider clear-out of the central bank after dos Santos appointed Jose Pedro de Morais as central bank governor in January, replacing Jose de Lima Massano.

The Slovak government, meanwhile, has appointed Ľuboš Pástor, the Charles P McQuaid professor of finance at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, as a member of the National Bank of Slovakia's board. Pástor will take up his new position on March 15.

The Bank of Israel's governor, Karnit Flug, has appointed Avner Ziv as director of its information technology department and as a member of the Bank's management. Ziv, a colonel in the Israeli Defence Forces, will replace Doron Pelach, and starts in his new role in April.
