Former Economic Affairs Secretary Shaktikanta Das took charge as the Governor of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Wednesday, 12 December, after Urjit Patel stepped down from the post on Monday.
Unlike his predecessor, Shaktikanta Das is very vocal on matters of the economy and often takes to Twitter to express his opinion.
From GST to global trade tariffs, here’s what Das said about key economic events.

Das played a part in the Modi government's crackdown on black money and helped build a consensus for the impending rollout of the Goods and Services Tax (GST).
He moved to the economic affairs department in September 2015, and was in-charge when the government on 8 November 2016, withdrew from circulation old 500 and 1,000 rupee notes.

On The Need For Digital Economy
