国当选总统巴拉克•奥巴马(Barack Obama)将任命纽约联邦储备银行行长蒂莫西·盖纳(Timothy Geithner)为财政部长，后者深度参与了美国政府化解金融危机的各项工作。
现年47岁的盖纳有望成为美国历史上最年轻的财政部长。目前华尔街正受到金融危机的严重挑战、华盛顿正处于权力真空期，同时，全球债券市场也是一片风声鹤唳。此时出任财长，盖纳可谓是临危受命。
我们看看Timothy F. Geithner 的简历。他本人学习过日语和中文，在日本和中国生活过，这是否表明了危机时代，奥巴马也深知要加强与中国、日本联系，以有效解决危机呢？
Timothy F. Geithner became the ninth president and chief executive officer of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on November 17, 2003. In that capacity, he serves as the vice chairman and a permanent member of the Federal Open Market Committee, the group responsible for formulating the nation's monetary policy.
Mr. Geithner joined the Department of Treasury in 1988 and worked in three administrations for five Secretaries of the Treasury in a variety of positions. He served as Under Secretary of the Treasury for International Affairs from 1999 to 2001 under Secretaries Robert Rubin and Lawrence Summers.
He was director of the Policy Development and Review Department at the International Monetary Fund from 2001 until 2003. Before joining the Treasury, Mr. Geithner worked for Kissinger Associates, Inc.
Mr. Geithner graduated from Dartmouth College with a bachelor’s degree in government and Asian studies in 1983 and from the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies with a master’s in International Economics and East Asian Studies in 1985. He has studied Japanese and Chinese and has lived in East Africa, India, Thailand, China, and Japan.
Mr. Geithner serves as chairman of the G-10’s Committee on Payment and Settlement Systems of the Bank for International Settlements. He is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and the Group of Thirty.
He and his wife, Carole Sonnenfeld Geithner, have two children.
