BREXIT, which prompted Mark Carney to cut UK interest rates for the first time in seven years in 2016, is now pushing in the other direction.
In a speech in Washington on Monday, the Bank of England (BOE) governor said while the decision to leave the European Union (EU) has slowed growth, it's also cut the economy's potential.
