Financial stability continues to be one of the most important factors for promoting growth and prosperity in Europe, and the subject of discussions at national, European and international level, for instance in the framework of the G20. The UK has taken major initiatives to reform its prudential and supervisory regulatory architecture, including the creation of the Prudential Regulatory Authority (PRA) under the Bank of England umbrella, in addition to establishing the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), and implementing new structural banking rules (Vickers). The PRA, created by the Financial Services Act (2012), promotes safety and soundness in order to ensure the stability of the UK financial system with new rules (deposit, provision, business, eligibility, liquidity data…) and structural requirements for investment firms.

Sir Jon CUNLIFFE will comment on the Bank of England’s strategy and approach to financial stability, along with wider European and international issues around financial stability.
