“I am honoured to be ranked as one of the world’s A-list central bank governors in 2024 by Global Finance magazine, alongside colleagues for whom I have great respect, such as Christine Lagarde of the ECB, Nguyen Thi Hong of Vietnam, Abdellatif Jouahri of Morocco, Eli Remolona of the Philippines and Shaktikanta Das of India.”

“This ranking is in recognition of the achievements and dedication of the management and staff of the National Bank of Cambodia over the past year,” Her Excellency wrote on social networks on Sunday 25 August.

The Central Banker Report Cards, published annually by Global Finance since 1994, assess the governors of the central banks of nearly 100 countries, territories and key 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 awarded on a scale from ‘A+’ to ‘F’, based on performance in areas such as inflation control, economic growth targets, currency stability and interest rate management. (‘A’ represents excellent performance, up to ‘F’ for total failure).

“Central bankers have waged a war on inflation in recent years, wielding their main weapon: higher interest rates. Today, countries around the world are seeing the tangible results of these efforts, as inflation has fallen significantly,” said Joseph Giarraputo, founder and editorial director of Global Finance.

“Global Finance’s annual reports on central bankers pay tribute to those bank leaders whose strategies have outstripped those of their peers through originality, creativity and tenacity.”
