Mark Joseph Carney (born March 16, 1965) is a Canadian economist and banker. He is the leader of the Liberal Party of Canada since March 9, 2025. As the leader of the governing party, Carney is expected to succeed Justin Trudeau as the 29th prime minister of Canada. He was also the governor of the Bank of Canada from 2008 to 2013 and Governor of the Bank of England from 2013 until 2020 and was Chairman of the Financial Stability Board from 2011 to 2018.[2]
Carney is an Irish and British citizen while also holding Canadian citizenship but announced in 2025 that he was in the process of revoking both his Irish and British citizenship.[3]
On January 16, 2025, Carney announced his campaign for Leader of the Liberal Party in the 2025 leadership election.[4] Carney won with over 85.9% of the vote on the first ballot in a landslide victory, which made him the prime minister-designate and beat the margin of victory held by former prime minister Justin Trudeau in 2013.[5] Carney was sworn-in as the 29th prime minister of Canada after Justin Trudeau's resignation.[6]
