The Herle Burly was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as CN Rail.

I’d like to welcome Carolyn Wilkins to the podcast. Carolyn is currently an external member of the Financial Policy Committee of The Bank of England, appointed in June 2021. She is a Senior Research Scholar at Princeton University’s Griswold Centre for Economic Policy, and on the Board of Directors at Intact Financial Corporation. Prior to these appointments, most of you will know Carolyn from her distinguished 20-year career at The Bank of Canada, serving as Senior Deputy Governor, the Bank’s G20 and G7 Deputy, and member of the Financial Stability Board.

Now, I just want to caveat that Carolyn is speaking with us in her personal capacity today, NOT on behalf of The Bank of England.

We’re going dive into a few timely topics:

• Financial Sanctions ... what are they? How powerful a tool are they? And how the hell do they work?
• They don’t call it “crypto” for nothing. So we’ll spend some time demystifying cryptocurrency.
