According to a statement from CBK, Dr. Njoroge was awarded the Global Markets Central Bank Governor of the Year Award for Sub-Saharan Africa in Washington DC.

The governor clinched the award due to his efforts to curb inflation, clean-up of the sector and his efforts to pursue openness.

Njoroge dedicated the award to CBK staff.

“I wish to thank all who made this possible, in particular, the deputy governor and staff of the CBK and fellow governors of other central banks for their support. I dedicate this award to CBK staff, they are CBK’s greatest assets and are transforming it to a world-class modern central bank,” said Njoroge.

The word is Njoroge's second after being recognized as the best CBK governor in Africa in early this year.
