Lessons Learned: Paul Tucker

After joining the Bank of England (BoE) in 1980, Sir Paul Tucker held a number of positions of increasing responsibility including serving as a member of several key committees. Tucker played a crucial role in the BoE’s response to the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) as director for markets, through March 2009, then as deputy governor of the bank until November 2013. Post-crisis, he has been instrumental in constructing the international regulatory framework on financial stability. From 2016 to 2021, Tucker also chaired the Systemic Risk Council. Currently, Tucker is a research fellow at Harvard Kennedy School, Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government, a senior fellow at Harvard’s Center for European Studies, president of the United Kingdom’s National Institute for Economic and Social Research, and member of the advisory board of the Yale Program on Financial Stability.
