Vujcic, 61, now ?serving his ?third ?six-year term as head of Croatia's central bank, ?had overseen his country's entry into the euro zone as its ?20th ?member.

He is also considered a moderate ?hawk. He has consistently warned against lingering inflation risks and argued for only gradual policy ?easing to make sure price pressures are ?fully extinguished. (Reporting by Jan Strupczewski)

All Fixed Income News

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
