Mark Carney is a notable economist and the Prime Minister of Canada who was sworn into office in March 2025 following his election as Leader of the Liberal Party.
He was brought up in Edmonton, Canada, to parents who were both educators that instilled in him the values of community and hard work.
As an adult, Carney got his start in the professional world working in finance before pivoting to public service. As Bank of Canada governor during the global financial crisis of 2008, he was instrumental in helping Canada weather the storms, even as he safeguarded millions of jobs.
In 2013, Mark Carney made history when he was appointed the Bank of England Governor. In his role, he guided the United Kingdom as it weathered the turbulence of
Brexit and the subsequent financial and political instability that ensued.
In 2020, Carney was made a Special Envoy on Climate Action and Finance for the United Nations and helped align climate goals with financial systems. Thereafter, his experience balancing environmental sustainability with economic growth would shape his domestic agenda as Canadian PM.
Working as Prime Minister, Carney’s vision is informed by years of experience in the intersection of public policy, economics, and finance on a global scale. He has become known for a leadership style that blends a deep understanding of social priorities with economic expertise.
Mark Carney got married to Diana Fox in 1994, and together they have four children.
In 2021, Mark Carney published
Values: Building a Better World for All. In the work, he asserts that most of the problems the world faces, such as systemic racism, climate change, and economic inequality, are a result of a breakdown in shared values.
Carney then goes on to explore how market economies are becoming market societies where worth is determined by price, resulting in a decline in human dignity, environmental sustainability, health, and fairness.
He draws on lessons from the past to suggest new frameworks and practical reforms prioritizing shared values and a more equitable and humane society.
