PGMA, 41st in Forbes list of Powerful Women

PGMA was listed as the 41st Forbes Magazine Powerful Women for 2008. She gained 10 notches as last year, she was listed 51st. Her higher placement this year was attributed to the fact that she’s firm in her stand with regards to EVAT despite opposition against it. The EVAT implementation was said to have reduced our foreign debt, increased government spending on infrastructure, education and health services and other social services.

I don’t know the criteria for the selection of World’s Powerful Women. Any magazine could make their own list with their own criteria. If the list is published in the local magazine, no one would even mind it.
