Wen Kezhi (问可知; born May 24, 1950) is a Shangean technocrat and politician who is currently serving as the Premier of Shangea since 2022. He previously served as President of the Bank for United Development, being elected for a four year term in 2016 and re-elected by the board of governors in 2020. Wen previously served as the Governor of the National Bank of Shangea from 2004 to 2016, as well as having a previous stint as deputy governor of the national bank from 1995 to 2004.
A developmental economist in Shangea and Gaullica Wen was known as central bank governor to push for a reduction in interest rates and adopting a looser monetary policy focusing on spurring economic growth rather then inflation reduction. Wen's appointment as president of the BDU was seen in part to shift the organisation to support more ambitious development projects although critics allege that under his tenure the BDU have ignored corruption issues stemming from BDU-financed projects. He was the first Shangean national to serve as BDU president since the organisation's creation.
In 2022 he was appointed as premier of Shangea by State Chairman Yuan Xiannian becoming a member of the State Presidium of Shangea.
