Mark Carney - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mark Joseph Carney (born March 16, 1965) is a Canadian central bank governor. He is the eighth and current Governor of the Bank of Canada and the current Chairman of the G20's Financial Stability Board.[1] These appointments were on October 4, 2007 (for a seven-year term), and on November 4, 2011 (for a three-year term).[2][3] Carney achieved these positions by working his way up the ranks of Goldman Sachs, the Canadian Department of Finance, and the Bank of Canada as Deputy Governor. Carney has been credited with shielding Canada from the worst effects of the late-2000s financial crisis, and has earned recognition by the Financial Times and TIME magazine as a top figure in the financial world.
On November 26, 2012, the British Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne, announced the appointment of Carney as the next Governor of the Bank of England. Carney is expected to assume the position on July 1, 2013 for what is officially an eight-year term, though he has already indicated that he will step down after five.[4]
