Raghuram Rajan Biography
Dr. Raghuram Rajan is a world-renowned economist and award-winning expert in the finance of economic growth. He was Economic Counselor and Director of Research (chief economist) at the International Monetary Fund from 2003 to December 2006, the youngest person ever to hold the position.
As a researcher for political economic policy and the role of institutions in fostering economic development, he was one of the first people to see our financial crisis coming, and as chief economist of the IMF, he warned in 2005 that disaster loomed and pushed the IMF's research department to focus on financial-sector issues.
Rajan is an author, Indian economist and former Governor of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). He is currently the Katherine Dusak Miller Distinguished Service Professor of Finance at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. Rajan has held several prominent roles in the global economic community, including Chief Economist and Director of Research at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) from 2003 to 2006.
Rajan first gained widespread attention in 2005 when he warned of a global financial crisis in a paper titled "Has Financial Development Made the World Riskier?," presented at the Jackson Hole Economic Symposium. His predictions were largely ignored at the time but proved prescient with the onset of the 2008 global financial crisis. This has since cemented his reputation as a leading thinker on financial markets and risk.
In India, during his tenure as RBI Governor, Rajan focused on controlling inflation, stabilizing the Indian rupee, and improving the banking sector. His policies, particularly around inflation targeting and increasing the transparency of monetary policy, earned both praise and criticism. He opted not to serve a second term, stepping down in 2016.
Rajan is also an award-winning author. His book "Fault Lines: How Hidden Fractures Still Threaten the World Economy" won the Financial Times and Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year award. He has written extensively on global financial imbalances, economic development, and the challenges of capitalism.
Throughout his career, Rajan has been an influential voice in economic policy debates, advocating for inclusive economic growth and warning about rising populism. He remains an active commentator on global economic issues, frequently publishing articles and appearing at major economic forums.
In addition to his academic and policy work, Rajan has received numerous accolades, including the Deutsche Bank Prize in Financial Economics (2013) for his pioneering research on banks and financial crises. He holds degrees from the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad, and a doctorate from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His books, including "The Third Pillar: How Markets and the State Leave the Community Behind," "Fault Lines: How Hidden Fractures Still Threaten the World Economy," and co-author of "Saving Capitalism from the Capitalists: Unleashing the Power of Financial Markets to Create Wealth and Spread Opportunity," a fresh approach to understanding the wealth-generating capabilities of free markets.
He has held a number of visiting professorships and is an advisor to the Prime Minister of India. He was previously a consultant to the Indian Finance Ministry, the World Bank, the US Federal Reserve Board, the Swedish Parliamentary Commission, and various financial institutions.
He was awarded the inaugural Fischer Black Prize by the American Finance Association for contributions to finance by an economist under 40, and is perhaps the most prominent economist of Indian origin of his generation. Rajan was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences in 2009.
