DublinGermany’s chancellor and finance minister reject each other’s European Central Bank candidates.
The delay stalls a deal to make Spain’s Pablo Hernández de Cos the bank’s president.
People with knowledge of the talks say Merz rejected Sabine Mauderer, and Klingbeil rejected Tobias Adrian and Markus Brunnermeier.
Merz will name Germany’s candidate next week, and EU leaders aim to settle on 26 November.
