Sir Jonathan Stephen Cunliffe, CB (born 2 June 1953) is a senior British civil servant, who served as Deputy Governor of the Bank of England for Financial Stability.
[1][4] In September 2007 The UK Government launched the “Economic aspects of peace in the Middle East” report, co-authored by Cunliff and Ed Balls.
[5] On 24 June 2011, Number 10 announced that Cunliffe would replace Kim Darroch as British Permanent Representative to the EU in January 2012.
[7] He replaced Paul Tucker when the latter was passed over for promotion to Governor in favour of Mark Carney, and chose instead when the announcement was made in June 2013 to lecture at Harvard.
[10] Cunliffe suggested in a March 2014 speech at Chatham House that the domestic banks were too big to fail (TBTF), and instead of the nationalisation process used in the case of HBOS, RBS and threatened for Barclays (all in late 2008), could henceforth be bailed-in.
