New CEA to be appointed only after poll, says official

-The Hindu

Government satisfied with advisory role fulfilled by others

The government is unlikely to fill the post of the Chief Economic Adviser (CEA) until after the general elections in 2019, according to a senior official in the Finance Ministry.

The government has received only a few applications for the post in the three months since it advertised the vacancy, the official added.

Not many applicants

“We issued the advertisement for the post of CEA about three months ago, and since then we have not received the number of applications we were expecting,” the official said on the condition of anonymity.

“The selection committee has been formed but even after they select a name, it has to go higher up for approval and only then will the Appointments Committee make public the name.”

“It is unlikely that the post will be filled before the election (next year),” the official said.
