Carney warns: Bank of England Governor Mark Carney has warned that another financial crisis could happen. | | | | "Could something like this happen again?" he told the BBC on the 10th anniversary of the collapse of Lehman Brothers. "Could there be a trigger for a crisis? If we're complacent, of course it could." | | | | One big risk cited by the influential central banker was China. | | | | "Their financial sector has developed very rapidly, and it has made many of the same assumptions that were made in the run up to the last financial crisis," he said of the country. | | | | Also on Wednesday, the Brookings Institution will host a panel discussion on the financial crisis with former Fed chairman Ben Bernanke and ex-Treasury secretaries Tim Geithner and Hank Paulson. | | | | 4.
