Malindi Myers

Malindi has been a part of the Bank’s Agency network, covering the South West, since 2018. She leads the Bank’s team in the South West, speaking to businesses and business representative organisations, as well as community and charity organisations, to bring the real economy into the Bank’s policy making areas. She sees her role in the region, speaking to businesses, as being key to the Bank’s remit around transparency, accountability and credibility.

She has had a career of almost 30 years, mainly in the public sector, working on economic policy, using data to support or evidence policy. She has lead forecasts on the global economy, provided briefing on economic developments to senior officials and ministers, and used economic data to evidence analysis. Before she joined the Bank, Malindi worked for HM Treasury, the Office for National Statistics, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and the European Commission. She enjoys understanding and explaining what is going on in the economy, particularly as she put it “in this fast changing economic landscape”.

Malindi studied economics at Durham University and environmental economics at University College London. She grew up in Kenya and Oxford, and previously rowed for Great Britain winning four World Championship medals. She also enjoys running, walking, swimming and being outdoors, in nature – a relic perhaps from her childhood.
