Carney lands on Time’s most influential people list for 2026

Christine Lagarde called the former central bank governor a rock-star leader for warning that multilateral cooperation is breaking down.

  • Prime Minister Mark Carney joined the leaders section of Time's 2026 Most Influential People list earlier this week, championed by European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde as one of 24 recognized leaders.
  • Lagarde noted Carney's early recognition of how international co-operation is at risk, citing his speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos where he identified the "breaking point of multilateralism as we have known it for decades."
  • Known as the "George Clooney of finance," Carney stated, "We know the old order is not coming back. Nostalgia is not a strategy," while Lagarde described him as a "rock-star central-bank governor."
  • Carney shares the list with Pope Leo XIV, President Donald Trump, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, though the inclusion drew criticism from some observers south of the border.
  • After a speech, Trump stated, "Canada lives because of the United States," marking contrast to 2016, when former Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was the last Canadian leader on this list.
