Carney: June Carney and Brexit Vote

carney: The deadline for applications is 5 June, according to The Guardian. Carney, who took up the role of governor on 1 July 2013 when he was appointed by the then chancellor George Osborne, has twice extended his tenure in response to the Brexit vote. The recruitment process has begun nine months before Mark Carney's departure date on 31 January 2020 and is being carried out by Sapphire Partners, a London recruitment firm founded by a former investment banker and run by an all-female management team. He was originally due to leave in 2018. Speaking to MPs on the Treasury select committee, the chancellor said As we leave the European Union it's very important that the UK continues to play an important role in global fora. Hammond said Carney's steady hand has helped steer the UK economy through a challenging period and the Treasury was looking for someone with equally high-level international connections to succeed him.
