‘Lyons leads betting to replace Carney at BOE’

Bloomberg

Gerard Lyons has become front runner to replace Mark Carney as Bank of England Governor, according to an online oddsmaker.
The economist — a former adviser to prime ministerial candidate Boris Johnson and a prominent advocate of Brexit — is reported to have interviewed for the role and published an opinion column for the Financial Times. Betway said it has cut the odds on him to 6/4 after seeing “notable support” from gamblers. The head of BOE is chosen by the UK chancellor of the exchequer.
