WORLD'S TOP CENTRAL BANKERS 2010

Global Finance Magazine names the World’s Top Central Bankers 2010

New York, September 9, 2010 - Global Finance magazine has named the heads of the Central Banks of six countries — plus the European Central Bank president — as the World’s Best Central Bankers over the past year.

The “Central Banker Report Card” feature, published annually by Global Finance since 1994, grades Central Bank Governors of 30 key countries (and the ECB) 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.)

Subjective criteria also apply. Says Global Finance Publisher Joseph Giarraputo, “During one of the toughest years on record, the World’s Central Bankers were tested as never before. Every year, we try to assess the determination of Central Bankers to stand up to political interference and their efforts at forcing their governments to spend less, and to open their economies to foreign investment and financial services.
