Who is Mark Carney? From Bank of Canada to prime minister

Mark Carney says he’s the pragmatist to lead Canada through turbulent times. As evidence he offers his stewardship of the Bank of Canada through the 2008 financial crisis and the Bank of England through the tumult that followed Brexit.

When it comes to politics, however, the former Goldman Sachs banker is a relative novice. He has never served in Canada’s parliament and will soon become the country’s first prime minister to serve without having been an MP.
