Frankfurt Savings Bank President Helmut Schleweis is going on the offensive in the debate about his own successor. The 68-year-old is demanding a quick decision from the responsible bodies. It makes sense to create clarity for everyone involved in good time and to demonstrate the ability to act, said Schleweis on Wednesday at the general meeting of the German Savings Banks and Giro Association (DSGV) in Berlin. The speech at the non-public meeting is available to the Handelsblatt.
“I therefore advise the members, also in the interests of the Presidial Committee, to make the necessary decisions as soon as possible so that as little harmful speculation as possible arises,” explained Schleweis. “Every one of you knows that my term ends on December 31, 2023.”
The Schleweis successor has been discussed within the public finance sector for months, after all the savings bank president has great influence both internally and externally.
