#25 Jean-Claude Trichet

The World's Most Powerful People

#25 Jean-Claude Trichet

President
European Central Bank
France
Age: 66


Responsible for monetary policy in world's second-largest economic area; 16 member states of Eurozone now contribute some 15% of world GDP. Unlike U.S. Fed, European Central Bank traditionally has focused on controlling inflation rather than spurring economic growth, a bias fiercely challenged by French President Nicolas Sarkozy.
