Central bankers often do not serve out their terms. This new edition reflects the many changes, e.g. 30 of the 105 governors featured in the previous edition are no longer in post.

Detailed entries
Each entry includes job titles, age, education, career history (both inside and outside their current institutions), membership of associations and organisations, publications and interests.

Career history
A quarter of central bankers have worked in commercial banks at some time in their careers. A surprising number have been involved in politics or served as cabinet ministers. Who's Who in Central Banking provides a full career history revealing how they have reached their position.

Photographs
As well as the detailed descriptions, 90% of the entries include up-to-date photographs.

Outside interests
Who's Who in Central Banking shows what central bankers do apart from working in their central banks, and where they make their commercial contacts. The vast majority have outside interests and participate in a range of commercial and non-commercial organisations. Who's Who in Central Banking traces these contacts and networks.
