Dr. Sam-Chung Hsieh (1919-2004) was former Governor of the Central Bank of China.

In his long and distinguished career as economist and development specialist, he held key positions in multilateral institutions including the Asian Development Bank, where as founding Director, he pioneered and was instrumental in advancing the green revolution and in the transformation of rural Asia. He earned an international reputation for his diplomacy and leadership in building infrastructure and improving living standards for people throughout Asia. As Secretary-General of the Joint Commission on Rural Reconstruction and later as Chairman of Taiwan's National Development Bank, he played a leading role and led efforts which sparked the "Taiwan Miracle."
