Gita Gopinath

About

Gita Gopinath, the India-born former first deputy MD of the IMF, remains glued to her passion: international finance and macroeconomics. She continues to be a leading global voice on most things economic. She also did not distance herself from opposing U.S. President Donald Trump’s unilateral tariff imposition. At the World Economic Forum this January, she didn’t mince words as she said pollution posed a bigger threat to the Indian economy than tariffs. “The challenge for India is not about becoming the third largest economy, but it is about raising per capita incomes to higher levels,” Gopinath had observed.
