Governors are graded on a scale from "A+" to "F," with the top grade representing excellence in areas such as inflation control, economic growth, currency stability, and interest rate management.

Now, countries around the world are witnessing the tangible results of these efforts, as inflation has dropped significantly," said Global Finance founder and editorial director Joseph Giarraputo.
He further noted, "Global Finance's annual Central Banker Report Cards honor those bank leaders whose strategies outperformed their peers through originality, creativity, and tenacity."
