Ministers chose Abdolnaser Hemmati, formerly head of Iran’s insurance regulator, as the new central bank chief, according to a report by the state-owned Islamic Republic News Agency.

Hemmati was formerly a managing director at Iran’s Bank Melli, and he retains a position as associate professor at the University of Tehran.
