Australia’s Stevens not asked to be BoE governor:source

Australia’s top central banker Glenn Stevens has not been approached by British Treasury officials about applying for the Bank of England’s (BOE) governor role, a source with direct knowledge of the situation said on Monday.

London’s Sunday Times newspaper reported Stevens was among the contenders to become the next head of the Bank of England, citing unidentified sources.

“Nobody had approached” Stevens about the role, said the source, who declined to be identified because the matter was private.
