The First Woman in Asia to Lead a Central Bank: Dr Zeti Akhtar Aziz



Dr Zeti Akhtar Aziz.

She is indeed an inspiration for me.

She is brilliant, humble, and does her work quietly and ultimately makes decision for the betterment of a nation and her people.

She is a role model for the younger generation to aspire to be the best at what you do be it being a baker, a designer, a writer, a waiter, an engineer, a doctor, etc.

Be useful to your family and society.

Have integrity.

May we have many more like Dr Zeti.


"She had accomplished so much by the time Wharton Magazine published its 125 Influential People and Ideas issue in 2006. Dr. Zeti Akhtar Aziz, G’74, GRW’78, had steered the Malaysian economy through the Asian financial crisis in 1998 soon after becoming interim governor of Malaysia’s central bank. Her steady leadership earned her the full-time governorship of Bank Negara Malaysia in 2000—making her the first female in all of Asia to become head of a central bank. Dr. Zeti then set her nation’s economy on a sustainable, more inclusive course and in the process became an economic leader across Asia and the Islamic world. Since, she has earned accolades as a top bank governor—if not the top one—and continued to be a pioneer. Malaysia weathered the global financial crisis of 2009 with minimal damage, for instance, and when Dr. Zeti raised interest rates in 2010, India and China followed. - See more at: http://whartonmagazine.com/issues/fall-2013/dr-zeti-akhtar-aziz/#sthash.UUyj8w8u.dpuf"
