Our comments on the new Governor of the Bank of England

Rain Newton-Smith, CBI Chief Economist, said:

“We warmly congratulate Andrew on his appointment as the next Governor of the Bank of England.

“His strong experience, both in Threadneedle Street and at the Financial Conduct Authority, means he is particularly well placed to steer the British economy through the new course it will take after Brexit, and through challenging global economic times.

“We look forward to continuing our close work with the Bank of England.”
