Boris Vujčić took office as Vice-President of the European Central Bank on Monday, beginning a non-renewable eight-year term that runs until 31 May 2034\. The Croatian economist succeeds Luis de Guindos of Spain, whose term concluded on 31 May 2026.

Vujčić joins the six-member Executive Board that, together with the governors of the national central banks in the euro area, forms the ECB's Governing Council. He was formally appointed by the European Council on 19 March 2026 following the customary consultation of the European Parliament and the Governing Council. The appointment process is set out in the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.

#### A FIRST FOR POST-2004 MEMBER STATES

The appointment carries symbolic weight for the euro area's newer members. Vujčić is the first person from an EU country that joined the bloc in or after the 2004 enlargement to serve on the Executive Board. Until now the board had been drawn exclusively from founding members of the single currency and other pre-2004 EU states.

Vujčić served as Governor of the Croatian National Bank from 2012, a tenure spanning Croatia's accession to the EU in 2013, its adoption of the euro in 2023 and its entry into the Single Supervisory Mechanism. Before that he held senior positions at the Croatian central bank, including as deputy governor. 

#### AGENDA IN FRANKFURT

As Vice-President, Vujčić is deputy to ECB President Christine Lagarde and joins her at the press conferences that follow the Governing Council's monetary policy meetings.

Full biographical details and the schedule of Executive Board terms are set out on the ECB's website. Vujčić is the fifth Vice-President in the ECB's history, after Christian Noyer, Lucas Papademos, Vítor Constâncio and Luis de Guindos.
