The report is not exclusive to Africa alone as it performs the same function for Central Banks across European Union, Eastern Caribbean Central Bank, the Bank of Central African States, and West African Central Bank states.
For the 2022 report, only three central bank governors from Africa made the top 20 global list and they are: Lesetja Kganyago of the South African Reserve Bank, Havesh Kumar Seegolam of Mauritius, and Abdelattif Jouahri, of Morocco.
Godwin Emefiele was not named on Africa’s top 15 central bank governors. He scored a C- grade by the magazine, lower than his African counterparts in Kenya with a B, Rwanda (B+), Ghana (B-) and Zambia with (C+).
Grades in the ranking are established on a scale of A to F for success in such areas as inflation, economic growth goals, currency stability and interest rate management. Here are the 15 best-performing central bank governors in Africa in 2022.
