MUMBAI : Although with less monetary firepower, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has beaten US Federal Reserve and European Central Bank on Twitter by emerging as the most popular central bank on the microblogging site.
RBI's Twitter handle has 7.45 lakh followers while the world's most powerful central bank US Federal Reserve has only about 6.17 lakh followers and the Frankfurt-headquartered European Central Bank, the second most powerful monetary authority in the world, has 5.55 lakh followers.
The 85-year-old RBI, which got a Twitter account in January 2012, and its Governor Shaktikanta Das have separate Twitter handles.
