A comment on Nobel Laureates Aim Too Low on Global Poverty. Parent comment
1. Bankers are primarily interested by money, which includes employees of the Swedish central bank
2. There is a conflict of interest because the prize is funded by a bank

3. Economists are more motivated by money than doctors.
1 and 2 are not relevant because the central bank is not a bank in any meaningful sense.
I fail to see how 3 has any impact on how one should view the economics prize. Could you elaborate?
