Andy Haldane

[1][8] Haldane has been widely cited as a leading Bank of England expert on financial stability[9][10][11] and is a co-author with Adair Turner and others of the London School of Economics The Future of Finance report.

[12] His 2012 speech, called "The Dog and the Frisbee"[13]—delivered to the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City's annual Jackson Hole, Wyoming meeting—received widespread attention in the financial media[14] and prompted Forbes to describe him as a "rising star central banker".

In October 2012 Haldane said the Occupy movement protesters had been right to criticise the financial sector and had persuaded bankers and politicians "to behave in a more moral way".

[19] Haldane said in a speech on 4 April 2014 to a financial audience that "too big to fail" risks that are being tackled by reforms at major banks were applicable to the asset-management industry, calling it the "next frontier" for macroprudential policy.

[21] Haldane said in March 2017 that "Bad managers stand accused of holding back economic growth in the UK by undermining productivity, preventing pay and living standards rising.

"[23] In April 2021, he announced that he was resigning from the Bank of England in June and becoming chief executive of the Royal Society for Arts in September, replacing Matthew Taylor.

[2] In September 2023, RSA workers voted to strike for the first time in the organisation's history, saying management had entered into pay negotiations in "bad faith".

[3] He was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2023 Birthday Honours for services to the economy and public policy.

It is also backed by Gavyn Davies, former BBC head; Sir Howard Davies, London School of Economics director; Rachel Lomax, former Bank of England deputy director on the Monetary Policy Committee; Adair Turner, who chaired the now-defunct Financial Services Authority; and Jim O'Neill, the Goldman Sachs economist who came up with the term "BRIC".
