Scottish Independence: Mark Carney

Mark Carney: Carney is due to make a speech to the Scottish Council for Development and Industry in Edinburgh on January 29, according to the association's website. It will be his first visit to Scotland since he took over the British central bank last July, according to Reuters. The governor, who is Canadian, said in December that the Bank would provide "technical, objective, dry analysis of some of these issues in due course" and LONDON - Bank of England Governor Mark Carney will travel to Scotland this month where he is expected to make his first comments on issues relating to September's referendum on Scottish independence with the economy ranked as the key issue by voters. Carney has so far declined to be drawn on proposals by Scottish nationalists that an independent Scotland should retain the Bank of England as the lender of last resort and the pound in a currency union with Britain.
