Willem Frederik "Wim" Duisenberg was a Dutch politician of the Labour Party (PvdA) and economist who served as President of the European Central Bank from 1 June 1998 until 1 November 2003.[1] In this capacity, he was one of the driving forces behind the introduction of the euro as a means of payment in 12 European countries on 1 January 2002.

Career

In Washington D.C, at the IMF, Duisenberg shared a room with Jacques van Ypersele de Strihou, then a junior economist.

In 1997, he became President of the European Monetary Institute, the forerunner of the European Central Bank, taking over from Bilderberger Alexandre Lamfalussy. In 1998 he was made the first President of the European Central Bank. In 2003 he handed over to another Bilderberg Steering committee member, Jean-Claude Trichet.
