Gita Gopinath becomes first woman and 2nd Indian to feature on IMF’s ‘wall of former chief economists’

Gopinath was appointed as IMF Chief Economist in October 2018 and was later promoted as the IMF’s First Deputy Managing Director in December last year.

“Breaking the trend I joined the wall of former Chief Economists of the IMF,” she said in a tweet, which also displayed the wall of former chief economists with her photograph.

Gopinath had served as the first female chief economist of the Washington-based global lender for three years.

Gopinath’s research has been published in many top economics journals. Prior to her appointment as IMF Chief

Economist, she was the John Zwaanstra Professor of International Studies and Economics in the economics department of Harvard University.

Before joining the faculty of Harvard University in 2005, she was an assistant professor of economics at the University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business.
