“Euromoney, which chose outgoing Governor of the Bank of Israel Prof. Stanley Fischer as ‘Central Bank Governor of the Year in 2010,’ calls for him to be appointed the next Chairman of the US Federal Reserve. EPJ was first to suggest that Fischer may be considered for the Fed post, when Bernanke’s term ends in January 2014. Euromoney explains how inflationist Fischer was as Bank of Israel’s top man. Under Fischer’s watch in Israel, inflation has been comparatively very strong. Indeed, in 2011, it was as high as 4.3%, more than twice the Fed’s current target rate.”
