  • Bank of England Deputy Governor for Markets & Banking and Chief Operating Officer Resigns

    03/13/2017

    Charlotte Hogg has formally offered her resignation to the Bank of England, which was publicly accepted on March 14, 2017. Ms. Hogg held the positions of both Deputy Governor Markets & Banking and Chief Operating Officer. She joined the Bank in 2013 and assumed the additional position of Deputy Governor on March 1, 2017. Ms. Hogg's resignation follows information being made public through hearings of the House of Commons Treasury Select Committee noting that Ms. Hogg failed to correctly disclose a conflict of interest relating to her brother holding a senior executive position at Barclays. As a consequence, during Ms. Hogg's tenure she was not compliant with the Bank's Code of Conduct which Ms. Hogg had assisted in drafting. The Treasury Select Committee has also announced that the Bank is reconfiguring reporting lines and internal structures with a view to safeguarding the governance of the Bank's Code of Conduct, Compliance and disciplinary processes.
