YELTSIN’S BANK CHAIRMAN NOMINEE OPPOSED.

A majority of Duma budget committee members present voted against recommending the confirmation of Tatyana Paramonova as chairman of the Central Bank of Russia, Segodnya reported June 7. Paramonova may still be confirmed; Russian bankers who oppose her tight money policies probably have more influence in the committee than in the Duma at large.

Russian Businessmen Slightly Less Pessimistic.
