FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Bundesbank President Jens Weidmann will serve as a second three-year term as the chair of the Bank of International Settlements, an umbrella organization often called the central bank of central banks.
Weidmann, frequently mentioned as a candidate to succeed Mario Draghi as European Central Bank Chief Mario Draghi next year, has been the Chair of the BIS since Nov 2015.
Basel-based BIS, owned by around 60 central banks, is a gathering place for the world's top monetary policymakers and its board includes top officials from the U.S. Federal Reserve, the Bank of Japan and the ECB, among others.
