For the second year in a row, Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor Shaktikanta Das has been awarded an A+ rating by Global Finance magazine in its 2024 Central Banker Report Cards. He shares this top honor with Christian Kettel Thomson, Governor of the Bank of Denmark, and Thomas Jordan, Chairperson of the Swiss National Bank.
The Central Banker Report Cards, published annually by Global Finance magazine since 1994, provide a comprehensive evaluation of central bank governors from around the world. These report cards assess governors based on four key criteria: their ability to control inflation, manage interest rates, foster economic growth, and maintain the stability of their country’s currency. This evaluation offers a clear picture of each governor’s effectiveness in steering their nation’s economic policies.
