Andy Haldane, one of the lieutenants Carney inherited at the BoE, has questioned the financial sector’s economic contribution, pointing to “its ability to both invigorate and incapacitate large parts of the non-financial economy.” He argues (in a speech revealingly entitled “The Contribution of the Financial Sector: Miracle or Mirage?”) that the financial sector’s reported contribution to GDP has been significantly overrated.
卡尼履新英格兰银行后留任的副手之一的安迪·哈达恩（Andy Haldane）质疑过金融部门的经济贡献，认为“它可能让相当一部分非金融经济获得或失去活力。”他认为（在一篇标题十分吸引眼球的文章《金融部门的贡献：奇迹还是幻象？》（The Contribution of the Financial Sector: Miracle or Mirage?）中）金融部门所宣传的对GDP的贡献被大大夸大了。
