November 6, 2020 – William Robson, President and CEO of the C.D. Howe Institute, announces the re-appointment of Pierre Duguay as a Research Fellow.
“Through his remarkable career at the Bank of Canada, and his participation in Canada’s economics community generally, Pierre became well known for his incisive analysis and his cogent policy recommendations,” said Robson. “Monetary policy in Canada faces extraordinary challenges in the months and years ahead, and we at the C.D. Howe Institute welcome Pierre’s continued participation in our research program.”

He was appointed Chief of the Department of Monetary and Financial Analysis in 1987, Chief of the Research Department in 1991 and Adviser to the Governor in 1992.
Mr. Duguay has been a member of Statistics Canada’s Price Measurement Advisory Committee since 1999 and a Research Fellow of the C. D. Howe Institute since 2010.
