The Bank of Canada is pleased to announce the recipient of the Bank’s 2025 Governor’s Award.
Governor’s Award
Reka Juhasz
Assistant Professor of Economics, Vancouver School of Economics
University of British Columbia
Professor Reka Juhasz’s primary research focus is on the effects of industrial policy and how governments can improve the efficacy of these policies to foster economic growth. As global trade shifts, understanding how industrial policy can drive costs and inflation has implications for monetary policy, one of the Bank’s core functions. More broadly, her research also considers international trade, economic history, growth and development. Dr. Juhasz is published in top economic journals and has had a meaningful impact as a mentor in her department. She is also the co-founder of The Industrial Policy Group and was awarded the Alexander Gerschenkron Prize in 2016.
