Carney Says Will Make Outcome of EU Referendum Work

Britain’s relationship with the European Union is working but the Bank of England will do whatever is needed to adapt should Britons vote to leave the bloc in a referendum, BoE Governor Mark Carney said on Wednesday.

“Our job is to make whatever the British people decide work,” he told Sky News. “And there’s a status quo, we’re making that work and we think it is working, but if things change we will do what’s necessary.”

Britain is due to vote before the end of 2017 on whether to stay in the EU, and Carney attracted criticism last month from anti-EU campaigners after he delivered an upbeat assessment of membership of the bloc.
