A native of Fort Smith, N.W.T., Carney received a bachelor's degree in economics from Harvard University in 1988. He received a master's degree in economics in 1993 and a doctorate in economics in 1995, both from Oxford University.

He worked at Goldman Sachs for 13 years, rising to the post of managing director.

Carney told reporters he believes he brings policy experience, academic training and varied private sector experience to his new job.

    Ditto Dio. The guy is there to enforce the myth that the BOC is actually a bank and actually controls the monetary supply of Canada.
