RBI now has more Twitter followers than the US Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank. The world’s most powerful bank in the world US Federal Reserve has 6.77 lakh followers while the second most powerful one ECB had 5.91 lakh followers on Twitter.

RBI’s achievement is commendable, considering that the 85-year old central bank was latecomer on Twitter. Its account was created in January 2012, much later than the Twitter handles of US Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank (ECB).

The second most followed central bank on Twitter is the Banco de Mexico with 7.74 lakh followers, followed by Bank of Indonesia with 7.57 lakh followers.
