Mark Carney makes Time’s Top 100

Mark Carney, governor of the Bank of Canada, has been named to Time Magazine's Top 100 most influential people of 2010.

He was ranked No. 21 on Time's list of 25 influential leaders. Brazil's president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, was named No. 1 on that list, with U.S. President Barack Obama coming in at No. 4. Other categories covered by the Time 100 list included thinkers, heroes and artists.

"Central bankers aren't often young, good-looking and charming, but Mark Carney is all three -- not to mention wicked smart," the magazine said in its Top 100 issue.

More here and here. Unfortunately, he wasn't good-looking enough to make this list.
