Reserve Bank of India (RBI) governor, Shaktikanta Das, has been named Governor of the Year by the Central Banking Awards 2023.
He has been recognised for his leadership, and for his handling of multiple crises that have arisen during his tenure.
Das took office in December 2018, just as the financial sector in India was on the brink of collapse and moving through the first and second waves of the coronavirus.
The National Bank of Ukraine was also awarded the Central Bank of the Year award.
This is the second time that an Indian central bank governor has received this award, with Raghuram Rajan being the previous winner in 2015.
