Andrew Bailey

person · Governor of the Bank of England; Chair of the Financial Stability BoardCredibility: 85%

Why this score? Governor of the Bank of England since March 2020 and Chair of the Financial Stability Board since 1 July 2025; previously headed the Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulation Authority. Speaks on financial stability as a supervisor of the markets he assesses rather than a participant in them, under institutional accountability and with no commercial position in AI. Rated high but below a statistical agency: his market claims are judgement calls, characteristically conditional and hedged, and central-bank stability warnings are not falsifiable forecasts.

The issue is not simply that investors are borrowing more, but that leverage is interacting with high valuations and market concentration, in particular the increasing cross-investment between artificial intelligence (AI) companies and hyper scalers, in a way that could amplify a future market correction. I remain concerned therefore that a large shock or combination of shocks could concurrently trigger multiple vulnerabilities.^?

Context: Conditional and undated, so not scored as a prediction: no metric, threshold or resolution date. What is checkable is the mechanism named — cross-investment between AI companies and hyperscalers, which this page records in the Nvidia, AMD, Microsoft and Broadcom arrangements already on its timeline.
