Sylvain Leduc of Bank of Canada is part of this year's Wealth Professional Canada's Host List.
SYLVAIN LEDUC
Bank of Canada
As the incoming deputy governor of the Bank of Canada, Sylvain Leduc is responsible for overseeing the central bank’s analysis and activities in safeguarding a stable financial system. In its quarterly Monetary Policy Report in April, the Bank revealed it was keeping its overnight interest rate at 0.5% and increasing its growth forecasts to 1.7% for this year and 2.3% for next, signalling that slight optimism is called for after a dismal 2015. Montreal-born Leduc, who takes the post after serving as vice president of microeconomic and macroeconomic research at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, will now have the responsibility for making sure the BoC makes the right moves to keep Canada’s economy on track moving forward.
