First BRICS-promoted New Development Bank’s president takes office

YEREVAN, July 3. / ARKA /. ICICI Bank said earlier this week its non-executive chairman KV Kamath had relinquished his position at the bank to take over as the head of the BRICS-promoted New Development Bank (NDB).

“…effective close of business hours on June 30, 2015, KV Kamath, non-executive chairman of the bank, has relinquished office consequent on his nomination and acceptance of full-time executive position based in Shanghai as the President of the New Development Bank,” ICICI Bank said.
