[BirSaNN]

Under Jouahri's leadership, the Central Bank of Morocco has fostered an environment of financial stability, supporting the country's economic growth.

Rabat - Abdellatif Jouahri, the governor of the Central Bank of Morocco, ranked yet another time among the best-performing central bank governors in Africa, according to the annual Central Banker Report Cards published by Global Finance. 

The report evaluates the performance of central bank governors from 101 key countries and territories worldwide. In the 2022 edition, Abdellatif Jouahri secured a place among the top 20 global central bank governors and was one of only three African central bankers to achieve this distinction.

Published annually since 1994, the report gives grades to central bank governors, taking into account success in areas including inflation control, meeting economic growth goals, providing currency stability, as well as interest rate management.

The report’s grades range between A to F scales. An "A" grade rates an excellent performance, while an "F" rating represents a miserable failure.

Jouahri, who has been serving as the governor of the Central Bank of Morocco since 2003, has played a pivotal role in implementing effective monetary policies that have contributed to the macroeconomic stability and economic development of Morocco.

His strategic decision-making, emphasis on price stability, inflation management, and promotion of financial inclusion have earned him accolades and recognition within the region, a report from Business Inside Africa explains.

Under Jouahri's leadership, the Central Bank of Morocco has fostered an environment of financial stability, supporting the country's economic growth. His extensive experience and expertise in monetary policy have contributed to Morocco's resilience in the face of challenging economic times.

The Central Banker Report Cards also highlighted other top-performing central bank governors in Africa, including Lesetja Kganyago, governor of the South African Reserve Bank, and Harvesh Kumar Seegolam, governor of the Bank of Mauritius.
