Kristin Forbes has been named an Honorary Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II for services to the British economy (recognizing Forbes’ outstanding service contributions from 2014 to 2017 as an External Member of the Monetary Policy Committee of the Bank of England). Appointments to The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire reward contributions to the arts and sciences, work with charitable and welfare organizations, and public service. A CBE is among the most prestigious honors bestowed in the United Kingdom (after the highest, Knight or Dame). Awards given to non-UK citizens are “honorary.” Recipients of the award traditionally receive the insignia of the Order in London at Buckingham Palace, in an Investiture ceremony presided over by Queen Elizabeth II (or her designate, such as the Prince of Wales).
