Poilievre takes shot at Carney’s record, saying he failed at Bank of England

Poilievre accused Carney of “changing his mind constantly” as Bank of England governor and “printing too much money, which led to inflation.” Annual inflation averaged about 1.6% in the UK while Carney led the bank and he left in March 2020, meaning he didn’t oversee much of the response to the Covid-19 pandemic — after which it surged, peaking above 11% in late 2022.

“Mark Carney should have been fired when he was the head of the Bank of England,” Poilievre said.
