马克·约瑟夫·卡尼
  Mark Joseph Carney (born March 16, 1965) is a Canadian politician and economist who has served as the 24th prime minister of Canada since 2025. He has also been leader of the Liberal Party and the member of Parliament (MP) for Nepean since 2025. He previously was Governor of the Bank of Canada from 2008 to 2013 and Governor of the Bank of England from 2013 to 2020.
  Carney was born in Fort Smith, Northwest Territories, and raised in Edmonton, Alberta. He graduated with a bachelor's degree in economics from Harvard University in 1987, and earned a master's degree in 1993 and a doctorate in 1995 from the University of Oxford, both in economics. Carney worked at Goldman Sachs before joining the Bank of Canada in 2003 as a deputy governor. In 2004, he joined the Department of Finance Canada as a senior associate deputy minister. Carney served as the eighth governor of the Bank of Canada from 2008 to 2013. As governor, he oversaw Canadian monetary policy during the 2008 global financial crisis. He was appointed as the second chair of the Financial Stability Board in 2011, serving for two terms until 2018. After his term as Governor of the Bank of Canada, Carney was appointed as the 120th governor of the Bank of England, becoming the first non-British citizen to be appointed to the role. He served from 2013 to 2020, leading the central bank's responses to Brexit and the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic.
  Following his governorship, Carney held several roles in the private and public sectors. He was chair of Bloomberg L.P., vice-chair at Brookfield Asset Management—a spin-off of Brookfield Corporation—and co-chair of the World Bank's private sector investment lab. From 2020, Carney was the United Nations Secretary-General's Special Envoy on Climate Action and Finance. Carney was also an informal advisor to Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, before returning to the private sector. In 2024, he was appointed as chair of the Liberal Party's Task Force on Economic Growth. In January 2025, after Trudeau announced his resignation amid a political crisis, Carney entered the Liberal Party leadership election, winning a landslide victory that March. After he became party leader, Carney was appointed prime minister, becoming the first prime minister in Canadian history never to have held elected office. Carney then advised the governor general to dissolve Parliament and trigger a federal election. He led the Liberals to a minority government—overturning earlier poor opinion polling to win the party's fourth consecutive mandate since 2015—and was elected for the first time to the House of Commons in the riding of Nepean.
  During his tenure as prime minister, Carney removed the federal consumer carbon tax, relaxed environmental regulations, enacted the One Canadian Economy Act to reduce interprovincial trade barriers and expedite major infrastructure projects in response to the ongoing trade war with the United States, and launched the Build Canada Homes agency. Carney's government also announced a sharp increase in defence spending, formally recognized the State of Palestine, oversaw an improvement in relations with China, and has continued support for Ukraine in the Russo-Ukrainian war. Carney is ideologically characterized as a centrist, technocrat, and a Blue Grit Liberal.
