Jean-Claude Trichet, the president of the European Central Bank (ECB), will come to Romania at the beginning of September, when the Romanian Central Bank (BNR) will celebrate 130 years of activity. An invitation was also sent to Ben Bernake, the head of the Federal reserves Systems in the US, who is yet to confirm his presence.

Trichet has been heading the European Central Bank since 2003. Prior to this, he has been working in the International Monetary Fund, Banque de France, the European Monetary Committee, among others.

Trichet, 68 years old, was born in Lyon, France.
