Sergei Monin named acting CEO at Raiffeisenbank

MOSCOW. Sept 7 (Interfax) - The supervisory board of Raiffeisenbank appointed deputy chief executive Sergei Monin as acting chief executive of the bank, the lender announced.

This post was left vacant after Pavel Gurin, the bank's chief executive since September 2008, passed away this week.

There have been media reports that Gurin's predecessor, Johann Jonach, who currently chairs the board of directors at Alfa Bank , might be appointed to head Raiffeisenbank. But according to Interfax sources at Raiffeisenbank, Jonach is not currently being considered for the post.
