Mr. Jouahri received an “A-” grade from New York magazine in its report entitled “Central Banker Report Cards 2023.”
Bank Al-Maghrib is the only central bank in the Arab world cited in this ranking.
Published annually by Global Finance since 1994, the Central Banker Report Cards have evaluated the central bank governors of 101 key countries, territories and regions, including the European Union, the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank, the Bank of Central African States and the Central Bank of West African States.
In a statement, Global Finance Publisher and Editorial Director Joseph Giarraputo noted that the fight against inflation, fueled by pent-up demand and disrupted supply chains, has everyone looking to their central bankers for help.
The founder of the American magazine noted that the annual Global Finance ranking pays tribute to bank governors whose strategies have surpassed those of their peers thanks to their originality, creativity and tenacity.
The magazine’s grades are on an “A” to “F” scale and take into account performance in inflation control, economic growth targets, monetary stability and interest rate management. “A” represents excellent performance and “F” represents a dismal failure, the magazine said.
Other central bankers who received an “A-” rating are Leonardo Villar (Colombia), Hector Valdez Albizu (Dominican Republic), Asgeir Jonsson (Iceland), Perry Warjiyo (Indonesia), Victoria Rodriguez Ceja (Mexico), Ida Wolden Bache (Norway), Lesetja Kganyago (South Africa), Rhee Changyong (South Korea) and Nandalal Weerasinghe (Sri Lanka).
According to the statement, the full report and list of notes will be published in the October issue of Global Finance and in digital form at “www.GFMag.com.”
