Centre names Urjit Patel as IMF Executive Director

NEW DELHI: The Government has approved the appointment of former Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor Dr Urjit Patel as the Executive Director at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for a period of three years. This was done following the abrupt termination of Krishnamurthy V Subramanian’s services, which ended his term about six months short. Patel is known as a key architect of India’s inflation-targeting framework for monetary policy. Patel, a Kenyan-born Indian economist, had started his career in the IMF over thirty years ago. He worked at the International Monetary Fund for five years, starting in Washington DC before moving to India in 1992 as the IMF’s deputy resident representative in New Delhi.

He became the 24th Governor of the RBI in 2016, succeeding Raghuram Rajan. In 2018, he was the first RBI governor to resign for personal reasons, serving the shortest term since 1992. Prior to that, he was the deputy governor of the central bank, overseeing monetary policy, economic policy research, statistics and information management, deposit insurance, communication, and Right to Information.

Before his stint as Governor of RBI, Patel served as a consultant to the Ministry of Finance from 1998 to 2001. He held various positions in both public and private sectors, including Reliance Industries, IDFC Ltd, MCX Ltd, and Gujarat State Petroleum Corporation. He holds a PhD in economics from Yale University, an MPhil from the University of Oxford, and a BSc from the University of London.
