The president of CaixaBank, José Ignacio Goirigolzarri, will present his voluntary resignation from the position of member of the board of directors that the entity will occupy, as usual, before the presentation of the results, which will take place tomorrow, according to the newspaper. ‘The Avant-garde’.
The financial entity does not confirm to elDiario.es the departure of the president of Caixabank. However, she explains that the meeting of its management body is scheduled for this Wednesday.
However, other sources indicate that his departure will be one of the topics discussed during the board of directors, in addition to the results that the entity will present tomorrow.
Goirigolzarri has been executive president of CaixaBank since 2021, when the entity absorbed Bankia, of which he also served as president since 2012. The integration of the two entities gave birth to the largest bank in the Spanish market. This is an executive presidency, a position with decision-making power that raises doubts about the European Central Bank (ECB) because it concentrates executive and representation functions, which it prefers to entrust to the position of CEO.
This is common in the Spanish banking sector. Santander and BBVA retain this position of executive president, occupied by Ana Botín and Carlos Torres.
