James Coyne
James Coyne was a notable Canadian banker and economist who served as the Governor of the Bank of Canada from 1955 to 1961. Known for his strong commitment to maintaining the independence of the central bank, Coyne faced significant political pressure during his tenure, particularly from the Diefenbaker government, which sought to influence monetary policy. His tenure was marked by a controversial stance on inflation and interest rates, leading to a notable conflict with the government that ultimately resulted in his resignation. Coyne's legacy is often cited in discussions surrounding the independence of central banks and the importance of protecting these institutions from political interference.
