The Bank of Canada says governor Stephen Poloz will not seek a second term as governor when his seven-year term expires next year.

"My time as governor has been the most fulfilling of my long career," he said in a statement Friday.

Sherry Cooper, chief economist at Dominion Lending Centres, said Poloz had big shoes to fill and has done well. Carolyn Wilkins, the senior deputy governor, is most often mentioned as a possible successor to Poloz, who has been strongly supportive of his second-in-command at the bank. Other possible successors include Jean Boivin, global head of research for the BlackRock Investment Institute and a former deputy governor of the Bank of Canada, and Paul Rochon, the deputy minister at the Finance Department.

Poloz surprised financial markets when he cut the bank's key interest rate in January 2015 by a quarter of a percentage point to 0.75 per cent in response to a sharp drop in oil prices. In an effort to improve communications, the Bank of Canada began last year having a member of its governing council give a public speech a day or so after interest rate announcements that do not also come with an accompanying monetary policy report.

John Weissenberger: Meet the Laurentian Elite, the mediocre masters of CanadaOur self-declared social and political elite is like the air we breathe or the proverbial water around fish; it seems so natural as to be unnoticeable You are all free to run for government Or crazy idea for the media but how about you stop promoting the same two parties as the only option? You are the ones entrenching the political class. I said this years ago. Too much power and influence shifted west under the Harper years and during the oil boom. Trudeau is a vessel for Eastern Canada's elites to regain their power over this Country and timed perfectly with a drop in global commodities prices. 'Mediocre' is right!
