Dr. Raghuram Rajan is the former governor of the Reserve Bank of India and former vice-chairman of the board of the Bank for International Settlements. In 2005, while serving as chief economist and director of research at the International Monetary Fund, Rajan warned of impending risks in the global financial system -- a warning that many regarded as prescient after the crisis of 2008.
