central banker

Interest rate setter

A central banker is an official who works at or leads a country's central bank—the institution that controls monetary policy, sets interest rates, and regulates the money supply.

Central bankers wield enormous influence over economies: The central banker's speech moved markets.

The term often refers specifically to the head of such an institution: The Federal Reserve chair is America's most powerful central banker.
