Mark Carney was born on March 16, 1965, which makes him 61 years old as of May 2026. His age is widely reported across multiple profiles, including Britannica and Wikipedia, which confirm his birthdate and current age based on the 1965 birth year. If you’d like, I can pull the exact age as of today or provide a quick timeline of his major roles (Bank of Canada governor, Bank of England head, and Canada’s prime minister).[2][5]
