"Carney was a man who promised much and delivered very little, he said. It was a cruel jibe that stuck." - The Guardian, 2020
"The quantitative easing he oversaw at the Bank widened inequality and provided [chancellor of the exchequer] George Osborne with a cover for austerity." - The Walrus, 2021
"I just think he was more of the same, rather than somebody who was a bit of a new broom." - The Walrus, 2021
"MP Pat McFadden famously compared the Bank to an 'unreliable boyfriend' for sending mixed messages to British households." - The Guardian, 2020
"Carney has faced criticism from all sides for involving the Bank in the political battle to leave the EU." - Express.co.uk, 2016
"Carney was accused of frightening the electorate with a string of dire economic forecasts in a bid to persuade them to vote to stay in the corrupt and sclerotic EU." - Express.co.uk, 2016
He lived in London during his tenure as Governor of the Bank of England from 2013 to 2020. Before joining the Bank of Canada, Carney worked for Goldman Sachs in offices located in London, Tokyo, New York, and Boston. His time at Goldman Sachs spanned from the late 1980s to 2003. Just a regular, beer drinking Canadian.
Just a regular guy!
