Bank of England appoints Huw Pill as chief economist
‘What happened to diversity?’ asks former MPC member after selection of another Goldman Sachs alumnus
Huw Pill has been appointed to succeed Andy Haldane as the Bank of England’s chief economist, becoming the latest Goldman Sachs alumnus to fill a key role at Threadneedle Street.
Despite reports that the Bank had been looking to increase its diversity by appointing a woman or someone from a minority ethnic background, it ended a lengthy selection process by announcing that Pill had been chosen and would take up the position next week.
