LONDON: Reserve Bank of India governor Shaktikanta Das has received the ‘Governor of the Year’ award at London’s Central Banking Awards 2023.
The Central Banking Awards 2023 winners were announced in late March this year. Two top prizes went to the National Bank of Ukraine — the 2023 Central Bank of the Year and the Reserve Bank of India’s Shaktikanta Das — Governor of the Year.
He has been recognised for his role during Covid-19, the Russia-Ukraine war, and the subsequent fight against inflation. India has topped among the countries whose inflation is under control and the growth prospects bright.
The RBI governor is currently in London. On Tuesday, he participated in and addressed the opening plenary session of summer meetings organised by Central Banking, London, UK.
“The RBI governor has cemented critical reforms, overseen world-leading payments innovation and steered India through difficult times with a steady hand and well-crafted turn of phrase,” Central Banking said in March.

Prior to becoming the RBI head, he was a member of the 15th Finance Commission and G20 Sherpa of India.
