Bank of England Governor Mark Carney might be staying on longer as the Bank's head

I posted on this yesterday:

So, this an ICYMI (maybe having a long weekend, hmmm? ;-) )

This time from The Guardian (though there are reports everywhere, like the FT linked above):

  • Carney is expected to answer questions on Tuesday afternoon over his future when facing MPs on the House of Commons Treasury committee
  • Several members of the committee have told the Guardian that keeping the governor - who is due to leave in June next year - would help smooth Britain's departure from the EU on 29 March.

This is pretty much all over the news. Keeping Carney on shoud be GBP supportive on a 'stability' argument; something to watch out for is a 'sell the fact' response from the currency though.
