Mark Carney Responds to Brexit Vote
Mark Carney, the governor of the Bank of England, speaks in London on June 24, 2016, on the outcome of the U.K. referendum on membership in the European Union. Fifty-two per cent of referendum participants have voted to leave the EU and global stock markets have plunged in response. Carney offers assurances concerning the strength of the British financial sector, affirms the Bank of England’s willingness to take additional measures to prop up the economy if needed, and outlines the preparations already taken by the bank in anticipation of a possible vote to leave the EU.
