PRAGUE, Nov 27 (Reuters) - Czech President Vaclav Klaus has decided to name right-wing economist Mojmir Hampl to the seven-seat central bank (CNB) interest rate-setting board, a statement from the president's office said on Monday.
The statement said Hampl, and another newcomer Vladimir Tomsik whose name was published on Friday, would be appointed on Tuesday.
Klaus, who has the sole power to pick central bankers without government or parliament having to agree, is replacing both CNB's policymakers -- Michaela Erbenova and Jan Frait -- whose six-year mandates are due to end on Nov. 30.
