"Happy to announce that for the 2nd consecutive year, RBI Governor @DasShaktikanta has been rated 'A+', in the Global Finance Central Banker Report Cards 2024," the RBI posted on microblogging site X (formerly Twitter).

 

 

With that, Das was placed at the top position in a list of three central bank governors rated 'A+'.

Published annually by Global Finance since 1994, the Central Banker Report Cards grade the central bank governors of nearly 100 key countries, territories, and districts, as well as the European Union, the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank, the Bank of Central African States, and the Central Bank of West African States.

Grades are based on an "A+" to "F" scale for success in areas such as inflation control, economic growth goals, currency stability and interest rate management.

 

 

 

"A" represents an excellent performance, down through "F" for outright failure.

"Central bankers have waged war against inflation over the past few years, wielding their primary weapon: higher interest rates. Now, countries around the world are witnessing the tangible results of these efforts, as inflation has dropped significantly," said Joseph Giarraputo, founder and editorial director of Global Finance.

"Global Finance's annual Central Banker Report Cards honor those bank leaders whose strategies outperformed their peers through originality, creativity and tenacity," Giarraputo added.

Founded in 1987, New York-headquartered Global Finance has a circulation of 50,000 and readers in 193 countries and territories.
