Top 10 list of the 100 most powerful people in the world of finance

The top ten on this list are: European Central Bank President Mario Draghi, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, U.S. President Barack Obama, IMF (International Monetary Fund)

Organization) President Christine Lagarde, French President Fran?ois Hollande, British Prime Minister David Cameron, U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission Chairman Gary Gensler, U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John

Roberts and House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan.

Among them, government officials account for 5.

Draghi has been president of the European Central Bank since December 2011.

In July last year, he declared that the euro was "irreversible" and led the European Central Bank to implement a massive bond-buying program aimed at saving the euro zone.

This shows that he has launched the European Central Bank's most powerful intervention in the European debt crisis.

Compared with when the crisis first broke out, now that Europe has Draghi, it is more hopeful to end this debt crisis.

Germany is the strongest economy in the euro zone, and Chancellor Merkel has become a key player in easing the European debt crisis.

Last September, a German court ruled that Draghi's European Stability Mechanism (ESM, the euro zone's rescue plan) was legal, which relieved Merkel, who supports the plan.

The verdict also allowed Merkel, who was entering a year of transition, to consolidate her ruling position.

Throughout 2012, Bernanke was actively taking measures to stimulate the US economy.

In September last year, Bernanke announced QE3 with the intention of stimulating bank credit and economic growth. What is different from the past is that the Federal Reserve announced that it will continue to purchase credit-backed securities until the economy clearly recovers.

During his first term, Obama made a series of landmark achievements: passing the health care reform plan, ending the Iraq war, and stabilizing the banking system.

But his financial performance is indeed his Achilles' heel.

After being re-elected, he will also face multiple challenges in taxation and fiscal budget.

In response to the raging crisis in the euro zone, Lagarde, who took over as managing director of the IMF in 2005 to replace Strauss-Kahn, who stepped down due to a sexual harassment scandal, has raised more than $430 billion in additional loans.

Hollande, who came to power last May, has not saved France from the storm.

His government has been slow to move economically and his approval ratings are falling.

Due to the introduction of an income tax rate as high as 75%, although France has increased its annual income by 1 million euros, it has made the rich want to flee the country.

While banking scandals, media scandals and a deep recession dog Cameron, its role in resolving Europe's debt crisis is increasingly expanding Britain's international influence.

At the EU summit last June, he opposed the aid plans made by various countries for Spain and Italy.

Thanks to Gensler, Wall Street and Washington are taking the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, which is investigating the collapse of Man Financial and JPMorgan Chase's London Whale, so seriously.

He pushed for the Volcker Rule, stress tests for banks and derivatives dealers, and ring-fenced rules to protect consumers from the risks of swap trading.

Justice Roberts lifts caps on corporate and group contributions to presidential elections.

Last year, he voted for Obama's health care reform bill, which will have a profound impact on the U.S. health insurance industry.

Ryan is best known for his controversial budget proposals, which played a major role in last year's presidential campaign.
