Shaktikanta Das, the Governor of the Reserve Bank of India, has been awarded the prestigious ‘Governor of the Year’ title for 2023 by Central Banking, an international economic research journal. The publication commended Das for his exemplary leadership during challenging periods such as the COVID-19 pandemic’s initial and second waves, inflationary effects caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and the failure of a significant non-banking company. This is the second time an Indian central bank governor has received this award. Shaktikanta Das was praised for implementing critical reforms, innovative payment systems, and growth-oriented measures during the pandemic while skillfully navigating political pressures and economic crises. The National Bank of Ukraine was also awarded the Central Bank of the Year award, but Das’s leadership during a time of crisis and his significant contributions to India’s economic reforms made him a deserving recipient of the coveted Governor of the Year award.
