Bogdan Baltazar (22 September 1939 – 28 December 2012) was a leading Romanian banker and the first spokesman of the Romanian government following the fall of the communist regime. He was also a significant financial and banking advisor.

From 1991 to 1996, he worked as a senior banking adviser and coordinator for the banking group for Romania in London.[3] In 1997, he was appointed vice president of the State Property Fund (FPS) and his term lasted until 1998.[3] He was appointed director of the French-owned Romanian Bank for Development (BRD) in 1998 and served there until 2004.[4] Later he led a consultancy firm,[1] and worked as an economy analyst, focusing on Central European countries.[6] On 18 April 2011, he was re-appointed director of BRD.[3]
