# Bank of England under Governor Carney manages the Brexit-referendum financial night

Date: 2016

## The fact

On 23 June 2016 the UK voted to leave the EU while [Mark Carney](/people/mark-carney) was Governor of the Bank of England. The Bank had published referendum-risk work and then used liquidity and later rate tools.

## Context

He had been BoE governor since 1 July 2013. Neighbouring BoC 2008 is a different bank. He did not sit as the UK Treasury.

BoC 2008 is a parent central-bank file.

The Prime Minister of Canada heads the federal ministry, advises the Governor General, and sets Cabinet weather. He does not write a Bank of Canada overnight rate by himself once he has left that building, a US IEEPA tariff, a provincial pipeline certificate, or a Brookfield board minute after a blind trust. A housing target is not a unique completed unit count. A climate-envoy speech is not a later pipeline MOU.

## Evidence and sources

Bank of England carries the official instrument or communique. Reuters records the same dated act independently.

## Significance

The path is [household purchasing power](/drivers/household-purchasing-power): a completed central-bank crisis-night under his BoE governorship.

## What is established and what is not

Established: 23 June 2016 referendum and contemporaneous BoE operations, independently reported with him as governor.

Not established: a unique later UK GDP coefficient, or that he uniquely authored the Leave vote.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

He was governor. HMT shares the UK file.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies Bank of England under Governor Carney manages the Brexit-referendum financial night, not a later speech about Bank of England under Governor Carney manages the Brexit-referendum financial night.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. Bank of England under Governor Carney manages the Brexit-referendum financial night on 2016-06-23 is not a licence to treat every later Bank of England communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average Bank of England under Governor Carney manages the Brexit-referendum financial night into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to The MPC and BoE staff operated. He was governor. HMT shares the UK file. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
