BoC begins search for new deputy governor

The process to replace Bank of Canada deputy governor Sylvain Leduc has begun. In a release, the BoC says it has formed a selection committee in partnership with recruiting firm Boyden.

Leduc, who was appointed in 2016 and will leave this month, served as one of two deputy governors that oversee the central bank’s analysis and activities.

The BoC announced in June that Leduc was leaving to return to the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, where he had been vice-president of microeconomic and macroeconomic research before moving to the Canadian central bank.
