TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – Central Bank Governor Yang Chin-long (楊金龍) has received his first A from

Global Finance magazine since taking office last year, continuing a tradition which saw his predecessor win 14 of the accolades.

Despite the typhoon which shut down offices in Taipei Friday (August 9), Yang still showed up for work at 8 a.m. sharp in order to keep an eye on the potential currency war between the United States and China, the Central News Agency (CNA) reported.

As to the latest A rating from Global Finance, the Taiwanese banker said that was the work of all his associates and employees at his institution.

The U.S. publication awarded its highest praise to 10 central bank chiefs from around the world, including Yang’s colleagues in South Korea, Australia, Russia, and Mexico.    [FULL  STORY]
