The awards ceremony will not be held this year due to the pandemic.

„I would like to say that this note A is for the Central Bank’s servers, who make very valuable deliveries to Brazilian society. I have learned a lot from everyone and am increasingly impressed with the standard of excellence of the Central Bank. In addition, the award is a consequence of work begun in the previous administrations of the Central Bank presidents,“ reported Campos Neto.

Global Finance magazine publishes „The Central Banker Report Cards“ annually, a ranking of central bank leaders from over 90 countries with grades ranging from A to F.

The other central bank presidents who received the top „A“ rating this year were those from Australia, Bulgaria, Chile, Kuwait, Malaysia, Morocco, Peru, South Korea and Taiwan.
