Central-bank staff

Americas Federal Reserve may be the most important central bank in the world,but it has a smaller staff than the Reserve Bank of India and employs less than half as many people as the European Central Bank. The euro area has so many central bankers per head because many euro-zone countries have not shrunk their national central banks,even though they no longer have an independent monetary policy. With 71,200 employees,the Bank of Russia has the most employees of any central bank in the world,and the number of central bankers per head in Russia is the largest of any big economy. China has only 0.19 central bankers per 100,000 people. Even Somalia not shown has more central bankers per head than China does.
