Mark Carney will soon head the Bank of England (BOE). In his last speech as Governor of the Bank of Canada, he was critical of European leaders for not doing enough to stimulate the economy, blaming Europe’s lingering recession on “fiscal austerity, low confidence and tight credit conditions” and warning against a lost decade. In contrast, Carney was highly supportive of recent monetary stimulus by the Bank of Japan. Much of Carney’s future success at the BOE will be determined by the state of the eurozone, which accounts for the majority of U.K. trade.
