Mark Carney served as Governor of the Bank of Canada from 2008 to 2013. During the global financial crisis, he took early action to protect Canada’s economy and financial stability. This boosted his profile internationally. Later, he made history as the first non-British person to be Governor of the Bank of England, leading it from 2013 to 2020. At the Bank of England he helped guide the UK economy through Brexit and the early COVID-19 period. These roles showed his ability to handle crisis management at the highest levels. His leadership in central banking earned respect globally long before he became prime minister.
