Bank of England governor Mark Carney indicated that he is willing to extend his tenure to help ensure a smooth Brexit.

"Even though I have already agreed to extend my time to support a smooth Brexit, I am willing to do whatever else I can in order to promote both a smooth Brexit and an effective transition at the Bank of England," he said, when asked by parliament's Treasury Committee on Tuesday whether he would stay on as governor past June 2019, when he is currently due to leave.
