RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das honoured with A+ Grade in Central Bank Report Cards 2024

Shaktikanta Das, the Governor of the Reserve Bank of India ( RBI ), was awarded an A+ grade in the Central Bank Report Cards 2024, marking the second consecutive year he has received this distinction. The award was presented by Global Finance during a ceremony held in Washington D.C. on October 26.

The Central Bank Report Cards, which have been published annually since 1994, evaluate central bank governors from nearly 100 countries, including major economies and regional entities like the European Union and the Central Bank of West African States. The grading system ranges from A+ to F, assessing performance across various metrics such as inflation control, economic growth, currency stability, and interest rate management.

In a post on social media platform X, the RBI announced the achievement, stating, “Governor @DasShaktikanta received the award for A+ grade in Central Bank Report Cards 2024, for the second consecutive year. Presented by Global Finance at an event held today in Washington DC, USA.”

Global Finance, founded in 1987 and headquartered in New York, has a readership of 50,000 across 193 countries and territories, including senior corporate and financial decision-makers. The publication is known for recognizing excellence in banking and financial services.

Das's leadership has been crucial in navigating the complexities of the Indian economy, particularly in the face of global economic uncertainties. This recognition not only highlights the RBI's effective governance under his stewardship but also reflects positively on India's economic resilience.
