Top ten most influential people in global financial circles 100.
The top ten in this list are: ECB President Mario Draghi, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, US President Barack Obama, IMF Managing Director christine lagarde, French President francois hollande, British Prime Minister David Cameron, US Commodity Futures Trading Commission Chairman Gary Gainesler, US Supreme Court Chief Justice john roberts and US House Budget Committee Chairman Paul D. Ryan. Among them, government officials accounted for five.

Draghi has been the president of the European Central Bank since February 2065438+0165438+. In July last year, he declared the euro "irreversible" and led the European Central Bank to implement a large-scale bond purchase plan aimed at saving the euro zone. This shows that he has begun the strongest intervention of the European Central Bank in the European debt crisis. Compared with when the crisis just broke out, Europe with Draghi now has great hope of ending this debt crisis.

Germany is the most powerful economy in the euro zone, and German Chancellor Angela Merkel has become a key figure in alleviating the European debt crisis. Last September, a German court ruled that Draghi's European Stability Mechanism (ESM) was legal, which made Merkel who supported the plan breathe a sigh of relief. This ruling also made Merkel, who entered the re-election year, firmly in power.

Throughout 20 12, Bernanke has been actively taking measures to stimulate the US economy. Last September, Bernanke announced QE3 to stimulate bank credit and economic growth. Unlike in the past, the Federal Reserve announced that it would continue to buy credit-backed securities until the economy recovered significantly.

During his first term, Obama made a series of landmark achievements: ending the Iraq war and stabilizing the banking system through the medical reform plan. But his economic performance is really his weakness. After re-election, he will also face multiple challenges in taxation and budget.

In response to the threatening crisis in the euro zone, Lagarde, who succeeded Strauss-Kahn in 2005 because of the sexual harassment scandal, has raised more than $430 billion in additional loans.

Hollande, who came to power in May last year, did not let France out of the storm. His government is slow to move economically and its support rate is declining. Due to the income tax rate as high as 75%, although France has increased its income by 6,543,800 euros per year, it makes the rich want to flee the country.

Although banking scandals, media scandals and severe recession have plagued Cameron, its role in solving the European debt crisis is expanding Britain's international influence. At the EU summit last June, he opposed the aid plans made by countries for Spain and Italy.

Thanks to Gainsler, Wall Street and Washington attach so much importance to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, which is investigating the bankruptcy of MF Global and the London whale incident in JPMorgan Chase. He promoted the Volcker rule, stress testing of banks and derivatives traders, and isolation rules to protect consumers from the risk of swap transactions.

Judge Roberts lifted the ceiling on corporate and group donations to the presidential election. Last year, he voted for Obama's health care reform bill, which will have a far-reaching impact on the American health insurance industry.

Ryan is best known for his controversial budget, which made him play an important role in last year's presidential election.
