英国任命加拿大央行行长为英格兰银行行长。马克•卡尼是加拿大人,自这家英国主要金融机构自300多年前建立以来,卡尼可能是首位外国领导人。经济记者安德鲁•沃克报道。
The British Finance Minister or Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne described Mark Carney as simply the best, most experienced and most qualified person for the role. Mr Carney, he said, has done a brilliant job in his current position in Canada. Bank of England governor is one of the most powerful official posts in Britain. The bank sets interest rate independently of the government and is gaining new powers to regulate the financial sector. Mr Carney is a Canadian national, though the chancellor said he intends to apply for a British citizenship.
