He went on to say, “Mervyn King, who came to see us a few years ago, is hugely respected in this part of the world for giving the most honest assessments in the British establishment on the impact and consequences of Brexit on Britain and the European Community. Andrew Bailey serves in those best traditions of the Bank and it was a pleasure to listen to his thoughts on this visit.
Dr Kelly also quipped that the current Governor, when he held a more junior position in the Bank during the global financial crisis, also played a key role in unlocking the finances around Iceland’s fish coming to Grimsby in the Humber. Thus keeping the nation supplied wish it’s national dish of fish and chips. Let’s hope he is as successful with the global energy crisis !”
