A proven track record of leadership and decision-making authority is also required.

For applicants from the private sector, a background as a CEO or equivalent of a large financial institution is necessary. Additionally, applicants must have at least two years of residual service remaining as of the vacancy date, and their age should not exceed 63 years on that date.
