The Bank of Canada named Carolyn Rogers as its senior deputy governor, filling its no. 2 position with a bank regulator in a clear signal that it’s seeking to bulk up financial markets expertise within its top ranks.
Rogers, who will be the first non-economist to hold the job in the modern era, takes over the role on Dec. 15, the bank said Monday in a joint announcement with Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland. The post has been vacant since last December, when Carolyn Wilkins stepped down. The six-person, interest rate-setting council has been without a woman since then.
