Career edit

In 1991 he joined the Bank of Spain, where he served in the Research Department until 2007. In the 1990s he simultaneously taught economics at Complutense University and Charles III University of Madrid.[2] He became head of the research Department in 2001, and coauthored publications in the following years on Spain's real estate market.[3][4]

In July 2007 he became a Commissioner of the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores (CNMV), the Spanish securities market regulator.[5] On 1 January 2008 he also became chairman of CESR-Fin, a group of the Committee of European Securities Regulators (which in 2011 was superseded by the European Securities and Markets Authority). He became the CNMV's Vice Chairman in October 2008.[6]

In June 2012, Restoy returned to the Bank of Spain as Vice Governor.[7] In this capacity he also became Chairman of the Fondo de Reestructuración Ordenada Bancaria (FROB) in the wake of the Spanish Memorandum of Understanding on financial assistance.[8] His successor at the FROB has been Jaime Ponce.[9]

On 1 January 2017 he became the chairman of the Financial Stability Institute of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) in Basel, succeeding Josef Tošovský who had been in that position since 2000.[10]
