Warwick Economics alumnus Andy Haldane awarded CBE

Warwick Economics alumnus Andy Haldane has been made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the King’s Birthday Honours 2023.

Andy Haldane graduated from Warwick with an MA in Economics in 1989 and joined the Bank of England the same year, where he went on to become Chief Economist. He stepped down from his role at the Bank of England in July 2021 to become Chief Executive of the Royal Society of Arts (RSA).

Haldane has returned to the University to speak at events hosted by the Department of Economics and CAGE Research Centre throughout recent years, including the Warwick Economics Alumni Event in October 2022 and CAGE’s public policy event 'Bold Policies for Uncertain Times' in February 2023.

He was awarded an Honorary Doctorate by the University of Warwick in 2019.
