Deputy Governor Paul Beaudry

The need for closer ties between practitioners and academics is obvious in many areas—central banking is no exception. Our Fellowship Program is a great forum to achieve this goal. From experience as both a past fellow and a current policy maker, I can attest that this program is beneficial and rewarding to everyone involved.”
