U.K. Treasury Adds Two Women to BOE's Financial Policy Committee

Colette Bowe and Jayne-Anne Gadhia are set to join the Bank of England’s Financial Policy Committee, the U.K. Treasury said Thursday.

The women will join the panel, tasked with ensuring financial stability, later this year. The central bank has been criticized for a lack of gender diversity, particularly in its most senior ranks and in policy making positions. Last year, members of a Parliament committee that scrutinizes the work of the Treasury and BOE said that they were concerned about a lack of diversity.
