| Najib congratulates Dr Zeti for excellent performance Posted: 28 Aug 2012 08:10 AM PDT KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has congratulated Bank Negara Malaysia's Governor Tan Sri Dr Zeti Akhtar Aziz for scoring an A' in the Central Banker Report Card published by Global Finance. "Well done Zeti Aziz for getting "A" in a report card on World's Central Bankers," he said in his Twitter message posted Tuesday. Zeti was one of six heads of central banks scoring an A'. She scored an A' last year and also in 2010. The other heads of the central banks who maintained the "A" score include Amando Tetangco Jr of the Philippines, Taiwan's Fai-Nan Perng, Reserve Bank of Australia Governor Glenn Stevens, and Bank of Israel Governor Stanley Fischer. The Central Banker Report Card feature, published annually by Global Finance since 1994, grades Central Bank Governors of 50 key countries (and the European Central Bank) on an A' to F' scale for success in areas such as inflation control, economic growth goals, currency stability and interest rate management. A' represents an excellent performance down through F' for outright failure. Subjective criteria also apply. - Bernama |
