BOE chief to quantify impact on UK economy after Brexit vote

London

MARK Carney is about to put numbers on the gloom.

Six weeks after Britain's vote to leave the European Union sent shock waves across the nation, on Thursday the Bank of England (BOE) governor will present a detailed assessment of what it means for the economy as well as his plan of action. With initial reports showing the UK may be headed for recession, he'll need to balance a realistic picture of what's in store against the prospect of being labelled a doom-monger.
