Euro-area countries have been asked to name their candidates for the next president of the European Central Bank by 6 November, a eurogroup spokesperson confirmed.
Finance ministers from nations that use the euro will review the nominations at a meeting scheduled for 9 November.
The process follows ECB President Christine Lagarde's announcement last week that she intends to step down in February, eight months before her term was due to expire.
How the appointment works
The ECB president is appointed by European Union countries on the basis of a recommendation from the euro-area nations.
The current timeline compresses what is typically a lengthy selection process, given that Lagarde's departure would come well ahead of her scheduled term end.
