Mark Carney’s involvement with investment funds registered in Bermuda made gratuitous use of the outdated and misleading term “tax haven’t” The term is widely understood to mean a country facilitating tax avoidance by corporations and the wealthy.

Neither the OECD nor the EU includes Bermuda or the Cayman Islands on their lists of non-co-operating countries, known colloquially as tax haven blacklists.
