Jacques de Larosière was the 'guest of honour' at the Central Banking awards

Central Banking held its second annual awards dinner at One Whitehall Place in London on March 12 to recognise excellence in the central banking community.

Former managing director of the International Monetary Fund, governor of the Banque de France and president of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, Jacques de Larosière, was given a standing ovation as he was presented with Central Banking's lifetime achievement award for his formidable achievements in public policy and central banking during the past several decades.

"Jacques de Larosière's pioneering work and lifelong struggle for monetary order has secured his reputation as the great French international public servant, central banker and scholar of his generation," said Christopher Jeffery, chairman of the Central Banking Awards committee.

After receiving the award, de Larosière held a 40-minute ‘conversation' with Jeffery, who is also Central Banking's editor-in-chief, to discuss some of the lessons he has learned from his career as well as some of the pressing issues related to central banking policies, the international monetary system and the euro crisis.
