Here are my nominees if you will as to who the most five powerful people in banking are (in no particular order):

  • Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board
  • President of the World Bank
  • President of the European Central Bank
  • Governor, People's Bank of China
  • Governor, Bank of England (almost chose Bank of Japan, but BoE has more influence on markets in my opinion).
