Wouter Bos fifth best finance minister
Wouter Bos has slipped to the number five position in the Financial Times top five list of European finance ministers.
The British newspaper praises his crisis management, adding that the Dutch economy is ‘not doing too badly’.
The paper rates the Finnish finance minister Jyrki Katainen as the best. Also ahead of Bos is Germany’s Peer Steinrück, the Swede Anders Borg and the Luxemburg’s Jean-Claude Juncker.
Bos rated fourth in 2007. His predecessor Gerrit Zalm made it into second place.
