YEREVAN, August 9. / ARKA /. The Bank of England has a “striking” lack of top female economists, its new Governor Mark Carney said, according to The Telegraph.
He pledged to create a pool of candidates for its rate-setting committee who will eventually become good enough to be the first female governor in the Bank’s 300-year history.
He added that the Bank has to “grow top female economists all the way through the ranks”. The ultimate aim is to “add to the diversity of macro-economic thinking and add to qualified candidates for the monetary policy committee, including qualified candidates for a future governor”.
