Regarded as one of the world’s most respected and significant leaders in central banking, Lord Mervyn King recently served for ten years as the Governor of the Bank of England, chairman of its Monetary Policy Committee and as the chairman of the group of major central banks at the BIS (formerly the G-10 Governors). This capped a long and productive 22-year tenure at the Bank where he also served as deputy governor, chief economist and executive and non-executive director. Lord King was front and center as the Bank dealt with the 2008 financial crisis, leading Britain through an extraordinary period of its economic history that began with inflation targeting and seeking monetary independence to enacting far-reaching reform, prudent regulation and more active financial oversight. In July of 2013, Lord King was appointed a life peer in the British House of Lords by Queen Elizabeth II for contributions of significant public service.
Later in 2013, Lord King was appointed a distinguished visiting professor at New York University’s Stern School of Business and School of Law, as well as a distinguished visiting fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations. As a prominent figure who has shaped public discourse over the last 30 years, Lord King offers a unique depth to the economic challenges that face the new world economy. He has also written and speaks about financial crises of the past, in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and especially the rather unfamiliar financial crisis of 1914.
