RBI becomes world’s first central bank with 1mn Twitter followers

The Reserve Bank of India on November 22 became the first central bank in the world to have more than one million followers or 10 lakh followers on its Twitter handle.

RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das congragulated his central bank colleagues following the development. “RBI Twitter account reaches one million followers today. A new milestone. Congratulations to all my colleagues in RBI,” Das said in a Twitter post.

Currently, the RBI handle is followed by as many as 10,00,513 people around the world.

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.
