Deutsche Bundesbank executive board member presented with Große Goldene Ehrenzeichen für Verdienste um die Republik Österreich

Salzburg Global Seminar board member Andreas Dombret has been presented with a prestigious medal honoring his services to Austria.

Dombret, a member of Deutsche Bundesbank's executive board, has been awarded the Große Goldene Ehrenzeichen für Verdienste um die Republik Österreich (Great Golden Medal for Services to the Republic of Austria).

He was presented with the accolade earlier this month by fellow Salzburg Global board member, and Governor of Oesterreichische Nationalbank (OeNB), Ewald Nowotny, at the Oesterreichische Nationalbank in Vienna.

Governor Nowotny, who has served as a board member for Salzburg Global since November 2008, said, "Andreas Dombret has been closely associated with Austria for many years and is distinguished by his strong commitment to Austrian interests. This is particularly helpful in those international bodies where Austria is not directly represented, such as the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision or the G20."

Dombret has been a member of the executive board of the Deutsche Bundesbank since May 2010. He is responsible for directorates general banking and financial supervision; economic education, University of Applied Sciences and technical Central Bank cooperation; risk control; and the Bundesbank's representative offices abroad.

As a representative of the Bundesbank, Dombret has taken part in numerous international committees and has used this opportunity to represent Austria's interests.

Dombret has been a board member for Salzburg Global since January 2016.
