    COMMONWEALTH Bank of Australia (CBA) CEO Ian Narev will retire by next June, Australia's No 2 lender said on Monday, after a week of damaging publicity about a money-laundering lawsuit led to calls for the long-serving chief to resign.

    Mr Narev, 50, would be gone by the end of the current financial year after almost seven years in the job, a tenure marked as much by record profits as allegations of serious misconduct including insurance scams and poor financial advice.
