“Grades are based on a scale from A to F for success in inflation control, economic growth goals, currency stability and interest rate management,” the magazine said in a release, adding that an “A” represents an excellent performance down through an “F” for outright failure.
“Fighting inflation, which has been fueled by pent-up demand and disrupted supply chains, has everyone turning to their central bankers for help. Global Finance’s annual Central Banker Report Cards celebrate those bank governors whose strategies outperformed their peers through originality, creativity and tenacity,” said Global Finance Founder and Editorial Director Joseph Giarraputo.
The magazine has been publishing the Central Banker Report Cards annually since 1994. It grades the central bank governors of 101 key countries, territories and districts, including the European Union, the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank, the Bank of Central African States and the Central Bank of West African States.
The central bank governors who earned an “A” grade included, Brazil’s Roberto Campos Neto, Israel’s Amir Yaron, Harvesh Kumar Seegolam of Mauritius, New Zealand’s Adrian Orr, Paraguay’s Jose Cantero Sienra, Julio Velarde of Peru, Chin-Long Yang of Taiwan, and Uruguay’s Diego Labat.
