For the third consecutive year, Central Bank Governor Dr. Nandalal Weerasinghe received an ‘A’ grade in Global Finance magazine’s annual Central Banker Report Card for 2025.

The ranking places him among the highest-rated central bank governors worldwide.

Global Finance has published the Central Banker Report Card since 1994, grading governors on inflation control, currency stability, interest rate management, economic growth objectives, and political independence. Grades range from “A+” for excellent performance to “F” for failure.

Dr. Weerasinghe is among nine ‘A’ grade Governors from Chile, Costa Rica, Indonesia, Jamaica, Kenya, Morocco, Paraguay, and Peru. Three Governors from Denmark, the US, and Vietnam scored ‘A+’.
