Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor Shaktikanta Das has been conferred as the ‘Governor of the Year’ at London’s Central Banking Awards 2023.

• The Governor was chosen for the prestigious award earlier this year by ‘Central Banking’, a London-based organisation that covers and analyses issues around the world’s central banks and financial regulators.
• The organisers said that the Reserve Bank of India Governor is being honoured because he 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.
• The other top prize, ‘Central Bank of the Year’, was awarded to the National Bank of Ukraine.
