Euromoney Finance Minister of the Year
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Between 1981-2016, Euromoney magazine awarded the Finance Minister of the Year award.[1] This award was given to a country Finance Minister who reformed or innovated their countries economy during their tenure. In Australia, the award is colloquially nicknamed "World's Greatest Treasurer" after Paul Keating won in 1984.[2][3] The award has not been given since 2017, with the magazine focusing their articles and awards on Banking Excellence.[4]
