Mark Carney
Mark Carney is a Canadian economist and former central banker who served as Governor of the Bank of Canada from 2008 to 2013 and Governor of the Bank of England from 2013 to 2020. He is a Canadian national who became the first non-British citizen to lead the Bank of England in its 300-year history. Carney's path to prominence began with roles at Goldman Sachs and the Canadian Department of Finance, where he served as senior associate deputy minister before his appointment to the Bank of Canada. His tenure at the Bank of Canada during the 2008 global financial crisis earned him international recognition for steering the Canadian economy through the downturn with relatively limited damage. At the Bank of England, he oversaw monetary policy during the Brexit referendum and its aftermath, implementing measures to stabilise financial markets and support economic growth. Carney is known for his expertise in financial regulation, climate-related financial risk, and macroeconomic policy. He has been a prominent voice on the economic implications of climate change and has advocated for integrating climate risk into financial decision-making. After leaving the Bank of England, he took on roles including UN Special Envoy for Climate Action and Finance and vice-chairman at Brookfield Asset Management. His background in international finance and central banking makes him a recurring figure in coverage of monetary policy, financial regulation, and climate finance. Carney studied at Harvard University and Oxford University, where he completed a doctorate in economics.
