Another former deputy governor of the Bank of Canada (BoC) is joining the stable of former central bank officials at the C.D. Howe Institute.
The think tank said Monday that John Murray has been appointed as a senior fellow. Murray held a number of senior positions during his 34-year career at the BoC, and served a deputy governor from 2008 until his retirement in 2014. Before joining the bank he taught at the University of British Columbia, the University of North Carolina, and Princeton University.
A number of former BoC officials already work with the organization, including a trio of former governors: John Crow, Gordon Thiessen and David Dodge; along with former senior deputy governors, Paul Jenkins and Charles Freedman, and former deputy governors, Pierre Duguay and David Longworth.
“John Murray has a global reputation as a deep thinker and able practitioner of monetary policy,” said William Robson, president and CEO of the C.D. Howe Institute. “We are delighted that he is joining the C.D. Howe Institute, and look forward to collaborating with him in support of good monetary and macroeconomic policy in Canada.”
Murray has a bachelor of commerce degree from Queen’s University, and a masters and PhD in economics from Princeton.
