One member of Parliament called him a rock star, another compared him to the manager of England’s soccer team. Such has been the reception for Mark Carney as the incoming governor of the Bank of England, and some are beginning to wonder if the bar is now too high...

...His pay package, around $1.2-million in total, is comparable to those of other senior executives, and he is not receiving a pension, Mr. Carney said.

He added that his housing allowance, more than $400,000 annually, is justified because he is moving from low-cost Ottawa to a high-cost city...

...After the hearing, MPs shook Mr. Carney’s hand, some slapping his back. Chairman Andrew Tyrie, a Conservative, told him before the hearing ended: “You have certainly demonstrated you know how to handle committees like this.”...
