Forbes included Elvira Nabiullina in the ranking of 100 most influential women in the world. 

The Chairman of the Central Bank is on the 53rd line in the list. Chancellor of Germany Angela Merkel topped the rating.

For the second year in a row, Chairman of the Central Bank of Russia Elvira Nabiullina remains the only representative of Russia in the Forbes ranking of the 100 most influential women in the world. In the fresh list, the head of the Central Bank took the 53rd line. In 2018, Nabiullina was four positions higher - in 49th place.

She has headed the banking regulator since 2013. Prior to that, Nabiullina worked as Minister of Economic Development and Trade of Russia, and was also an assistant to the president.



Among the main challenges that the head of the Central Bank had to deal with over the past year, American Forbes singles out “cryptocurrency fever”, maintaining the floating ruble exchange rate, risks of falling oil prices, trade wars and Western sanction pressure.

The last time Nabiullina was not the only representative of Russia in the Forbes ranking in 2017. The list included media manager Margarita Simonyan. In 2018, Simonyan dropped out of the list.

Chancellor of Germany Angela Merkel topped the 2019 ranking. The top 3 included ECB President Christine Lagarde and Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi.
