Don’t bank on Carney

IT’S no surprise that Mark Carney wishes to remain Governor of the Bank of England because, like the Chancellor of the Exchequer, he is opposed to Brexit in any form. That apart he has dithered on interest rates and talked down the sterling exchange rate, making him suited to Treasury requirements.

A. LLOYD, Swansea. CAN we assume any extension in Mark Carney’s position at the Bank of England is at his current remuneration rate, pro-rata? Or does ‘stability and continuity’ cost more?

There should be no golden hello as he is in role and no golden handshake at the end of any extension.
