Elvira Sakhipzadovna Nabiullina (Russian: Эльвира Сахипзадовна Набиуллина; Bashkir: Эльвира Сәхипзада ҡыҙы Нәбиуллина; born 29 October 1963) is a Tatar born-Russian economist and head of the Central Bank of Russia. She was Russian President Vladimir Putin's economic adviser between May 2012 to June 2013[1] after serving as minister of economic development and trade from September 2007 to May 2012.[2][3] As of 2014, she is listed as the 72nd most powerful woman in the world by Forbes.[4]

Early life and education

She was born in Ufa, Bashkortostan on 29 October 1963.[5] She graduated from the Moscow State University in 1986.[6][7]

Career

Between 1991 and 1994 Nabiullina worked at the USSR Science and Industry Union and its successor, the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs.[6] In 1994, she moved to the Ministry for Economic Development and Trade, where she rose to the level of deputy minister by 1997; she left the ministry in 1998.[6] Nabiullina spent the next two years with Sberbank chief executive and former Economic Development and Trade Minister German Gref's non-governmental think tank, the Center for Strategic Development, before returning to the Economic Development ministry as first deputy in 2000.[6] Between 2003 and her September 2007 appointment as minister, Nabiullina chaired the Center for Strategic Development as well as an advisory committee preparing for Russia's 2006 presidency of the G8 group of nations.

Russian President Putin appointed Nabiullina to the post of minister of economic development and trade on 24 September 2007, replacing Gref.[2][6] She found working with then-deputy premier and finance minister Alexei Kudrin "difficult but always interesting",[8] and remained in that position until 21 May 2012.[3] In 2012, she was one of six senior government figures to accompany Putin back to the Kremlin administration after Putin was elected president of Russia for a third term.

In 2013, she was appointed head of the Central Bank of Russia, becoming the second woman after Tatiana Paramonova to hold that position, and thus the first Russian woman in the G8.[9] In May 2014, she was named one of the world's most powerful women by Forbes, which noted that she "has been given the difficult task of managing the ruble exchange rate during Ukraine's political crisis and facilitating growth for an economy trying to avoid a recession".[9] In an effort to stop the ruble's slide, the Central Bank of Russia, under Nabiullina's leadership, hiked interest rates, free-floated the exchange rate, and kept a cap on inflation, [10] thus stabilizing the financial system and boosting foreign-investor confidence.[11] Euromoney magazine named Nabiullina their 2015 Central Bank Governor of the Year.[12]
