Mark Joseph Carney (born March 16, 1965) is a Canadian economist and politician who was the eighth governor of the Bank of Canada from 2008 to 2013 and the 120th governor of the Bank of England from 2013 to 2020. He was the chair of the Financial Stability Board from 2011 to 2018.
Prior to his governorships, Carney worked at Goldman Sachs as well as the Department of Finance Canada. Following his governorships, he was chair and head of impact investing at Brookfield Asset Management (BAM) and as chair of the new board of directors for Bloomberg L.P. as part of a broader reshuffle of the company's leadership.[3] He was also the United Nations special envoy for climate action and finance.[4][5] He resigned from all of the positions in 2025.
A member of the Liberal Party, Carney became a special advisor and the chair of the Liberal task force on economic growth in September 2024.[6][7] He previously became an informal advisor to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in 2020, advising him on the COVID-19 economic response.[8][9][10] After Trudeau's resignation in January 2025, speculation emerged of Carney's candidacy to replace him.[11] Carney launched his campaign for the Liberal leadership days following Trudeau's resignation, and has been described as a leading candidate.[12]
