The Globe and Mail reports in its Saturday, April 12, edition that the Bank of Canada has chosen Carolyn Wilkins, 50, an economist who joined the bank in 2001, to replace Tiff Macklem as governor Stephen Poloz's No. 2. The Globe's Barrie McKenna writes that Mr. Macklem is leaving the bank May 1 to become dean of the Rotman School of Management. Mr. Macklem, once considered a front-runner to succeed Mark Carney as head of the bank, lost out last year to Mr. Poloz, the former chief executive officer of Export Development Canada. Ms. Wilkins begins her seven-year term May 2 as senior deputy governor. Like Mr. Poloz, Ms. Wilkins has an MA in economics from the University of Western Ontario. She has been a special adviser to Mr. Poloz since last year with responsibilities for research on the Canadian economy, interactions with the financial system and monetary policy. Ms. Wilkins was selected by independent members of the board of directors and approved by the Harper government. She will sit on the six-member governing council, which sets interest rates. Ms. Wilkins has a background in research, forecasting and, most recently, assessing the stability of the financial system.
