Valys has an answer for those who doubt his competence

Taurimas Valys, the designated finance minister of Lithuania, has declared he will cease addressing public doubts regarding his qualifications and experience. Valys stated that all necessary information about his background and education is publicly accessible.

“

It is very difficult to prove that you are not a camel, so I think I will avoid repeating myself about my competencies, qualifications, education; this is definitely public information, you can check it.

"It is very difficult to prove that you are not a camel, so I think I will avoid repeating myself about my competencies, qualifications, education; this is definitely public information, you can check it," Valys said during a meeting with the Liberal Movement faction in the Seimas (parliament).

Questions about Valys's competence in public finance arose particularly after a recent meeting with the conservative faction. During that session, Valys felt he was being "examined," and some politicians suggested the future minister was unprepared. Valys, however, countered that it is challenging to cover numerous topics within the constraints of a single question.

“

I felt examined.

Despite the controversy, Valys affirmed his commitment to ensuring economic growth, maintaining fiscal discipline, and managing inflationary processes once in office. He holds a bachelor's degree from Vilnius University's Institute of International Relations and Political Science, a master's in law and management from Mykolas Romeris University, and a master's in business management and administration from Vilnius University. He is currently pursuing a doctorate in social sciences at Vilnius Gediminas Technical University.
