Bank of England details 48 hour bank failure plan

  • Aims to stabilise a failure within 48 hours
  • Would replace management immediately
  • Would annonce which creditors would suffer losses and which bonds would be frozen
  • New rules to come into force Jan 2015
  • Tax payer only to be used as a last resort
  • Failure of these firms should have the same impact as a failure of any institution

Hopefully we’ll never have to see the new action implemented but I’ll be surprised if it goes as smoothly as they are planning.

Best in 2026
