And The World's Best Central Banker Is Elvira Nabiullina
In the category of central bank leadership, this year’s number on bank governor is Elvira Nabiullina of the Central Bank of Russia. Euromoneyawarded Nabiullina with the top central banker award on Wednesday. She will be featured in an interview with the magazine in their October issue. Last year, India’s Raghuram Rajan of the Reserve Bank of India was voted the world’s leading central banker.
Nabiullina oversaw massive turbulence in the ruble market last year when the government moved away from its fixed-trading band to a free-float system. The Russian ruble was crippled by a combination of economic sanctions, bad geopolitical news involving the east Ukraine-Russia battle field, and declining oil prices. It went from the mid-30s to 70 following back to back rate hikes by Nabiullina. The market saw the hikes as a Russian central bank panic attack and shorted the ruble. Many technocrats in Russia questioned whether she was wise to let the market dictate the direction of the ruble given the political crisis there, but she let the market have its way and short-sellers took it on the chin. Within a month, the ruble was heading back into the 60s. Nabiullina has managed the crisis well, Euromoney said.
Nabiullina made it harder for currency speculators to crush the ruble.
She expanded the banks currency liquidity facilities, adding new maturities and broadening the definition of eligible collateral in its foreign exchange auctions, while committing to recapitalize viable lenders.
“This shock therapy worked,” Euromoney editors wrote in a press release. “Bringing forward plans to abandon Russia’s failing band with the dollar allowed the Central Bank of Russia to intervene on an ad-hoc basis to stabilize financial conditions, but avoided wasteful interventions. It left the market to guess the size and frequency of interventions, thereby hiking the cost of forex speculation.”
Už jenom z toho důvodu, že byly Nabiullinové doporučovány jiné kroky, než udělala a Wall Street byl z jejích kroků v šoku..
