Vladescu was finance minister in the liberal Cabinet of Calin Tariceanu, between 2005 and 2007 and was Romania’s chief negotiator in the privatization of carmaker Automobile Craiova, bought by Ford Motor Co.

Central bank adviser Lucian Croitoru had also been rumored among proposed finance ministers.

Romania’s newly reelected President Traian Basescu designated democrat liberal leader and acting Prime Minister Emil Boc to head the country’s new government. Boc said the future government will have 14 or 15 ministries.

Basescu said Thursday, after designating Boc for prime minister, a confidence vote on the new government should be held by December 23.
