The Bank of England has expressed satisfaction that lenders have taken steps to ensure they are no longer “too big to fail” in any future crisis.
The BoE is aiming to stop banks from requiring taxpayers to bail them out, as happened in the 2008 global financial crisis.
At that point it was considered that letting them collapse would have had a disastrous effect on the UK economy and could not be allowed to happen.
The central bank’s long-awaited response to the self-assessments of eight lenders, including HSBC and Barclays, found that their internal systems should be able avert the kind of state intervention that was needed during the 2008 financial crisis even if lenders were to fail.
The 2008 financial crisis resulted in taxpayer paying billions of pounds to support entities such as the Royal Bank of Scotland.
Now, they can continue to provide vital services even if they are going through a crisis, with shareholders and investors in line to bear the costs rather than taxpayers, the banking regulator said on Friday.
All eight of the high street banks it assessed would be able to fail without major knock-on effects, but it did find “shortcomings” in three of the banks’ plans.
“Today’s publication shows that if a major UK bank failed today, it could do so safely: remaining open and continuing to provide vital banking services to the economy,” the central bank said on Friday.
“Shareholders and investors, not taxpayers, will be first in line to bear the costs, overcoming the ‘too big to fail’ problem.”
If proved true in an actual crisis, it could save the treasury billions of pounds.
In the aftermath of the 2008 financial crash, the government was forced to use £137 billion ($170.61bn) of public money to prop up the banks, protecting shareholders and investors.
“Even despite that support, the disruption to the financial system contributed to the UK and global recession that followed. We cannot forget these lessons,” the central bank said.
It was this that sparked the need for the resolvability tests which the regulator will now be performing every two years.
High street lenders will have to submit their plans to officials on what will happen in the event that they fail.
In the first such publication, the central bank rated several different parts of the lenders’ plans.
It found that there were no “deficiencies” or “substantive impediments” — the two worst assessments — in any of the plans.
Officials did identify “shortcomings” — the middle out of five scores — in how HSBC, Lloyds and Standard Chartered approached the process of securing enough financial resources to be able to take the preferred path.
It also found two further shortcomings in the plans of HSBC and Standard Chartered.
All three banks said in separate statements on Friday that they were making enhancements to address the issues identified and were improving their resolution plans.
There were six banks whose plans contained “areas for further enhancement”, the second best assessment that the BoE could give.
These included two for Barclays, two for HSBC, one for Nationwide, two for NatWest, one for Standard Chartered, and three for Virgin Money.
Only Santander UK’s plan escaped unscathed from the central bank's assessment.
Dave Ramsden, the BoE's deputy governor for markets and banking, said: “The Resolvability Assessment Framework is a core part of the UK’s response to the global financial crisis, and demonstrates how the UK has overcome the problem of ‘too big to fail’.
“The UK authorities have developed a resolution regime that successfully reduces risks to depositors and the financial system and better protects the UK’s public funds.
“Safely resolving a large bank will always be a complex challenge, so it is important that both we and the major banks continue to prioritise work on this issue.”
Publication of the review was delayed a year to free up lenders to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic.
There were notes of caution about the central bank’s approach harking back to the 2008 crisis.
“Generals always fight their next battle based on the experience of the last war,” said Claude Brown, a partner at law firm Reed Smith LLP in London.
“It slightly troubles me that resolution regimes are largely based around the Lehman experience. They won’t know what the next black swan event is going to look like until it arrives.”
Resolution planning often works on the flawed assumption that a bank will fail on Friday night and that the company and regulators can deal with the fallout while markets are closed, he said.

Keep it fun and engaging
Stuart Ritchie, director of wealth advice at AES International, says children cannot learn something overnight, so it helps to have a fun routine that keeps them engaged and interested.
“I explain to my daughter that the money I draw from an ATM or the money on my bank card doesn’t just magically appear – it’s money I have earned from my job. I show her how this works by giving her little chores around the house so she can earn pocket money,” says Mr Ritchie.
His daughter is allowed to spend half of her pocket money, while the other half goes into a bank account. When this money hits a certain milestone, Mr Ritchie rewards his daughter with a small lump sum.
He also recommends books that teach the importance of money management for children, such as The Squirrel Manifesto by Ric Edelman and Jean Edelman.

Key findings
- Over a period of seven years, a team of scientists analysed dietary data from 50,000 North American adults.
- Eating one or two meals a day was associated with a relative decrease in BMI, compared with three meals. Snacks count as a meal. Likewise, participants who ate more than three meals a day experienced an increase in BMI: the more meals a day, the greater the increase.
- People who ate breakfast experienced a relative decrease in their BMI compared with “breakfast-skippers”.
- Those who turned the eating day on its head to make breakfast the biggest meal of the day, did even better.
- But scrapping dinner altogether gave the best results. The study found that the BMI of subjects who had a long overnight fast (of 18 hours or more) decreased when compared even with those who had a medium overnight fast, of between 12 and 17 hours.

Zakat definitions
Zakat: an Arabic word meaning ‘to cleanse’ or ‘purification’.
Nisab: the minimum amount that a Muslim must have before being obliged to pay zakat. Traditionally, the nisab threshold was 87.48 grams of gold, or 612.36 grams of silver. The monetary value of the nisab therefore varies by current prices and currencies.
Zakat Al Mal: the ‘cleansing’ of wealth, as one of the five pillars of Islam; a spiritual duty for all Muslims meeting the ‘nisab’ wealth criteria in a lunar year, to pay 2.5 per cent of their wealth in alms to the deserving and needy.
Zakat Al Fitr: a donation to charity given during Ramadan, before Eid Al Fitr, in the form of food. Every adult Muslim who possesses food in excess of the needs of themselves and their family must pay two qadahs (an old measure just over 2 kilograms) of flour, wheat, barley or rice from each person in a household, as a minimum.
Chancellor Rachel Reeves set markets on edge as she appeared visibly distraught in parliament on Wednesday.
Legislative setbacks for the government have blown a new hole in the budgetary calculations at a time when the deficit is stubbornly large and the economy is struggling to grow.
She appeared with Keir Starmer on Wednesday and the pair embraced but he failed to give her his backing as she cried a day earlier.
A spokesman said her upset was due to a personal matter.

The smuggler
Eldarir had arrived at JFK in January 2020 with three suitcases, containing goods he valued at $300, when he was directed to a search area.
Officers found 41 gold artefacts among the bags, including amulets from a funerary set which prepared the deceased for the afterlife.
Also found was a cartouche of a Ptolemaic king on a relief that was originally part of a royal building or temple.
The largest single group of items found in Eldarir’s cases were 400 shabtis, or figurines.
Khouli conviction
Khouli smuggled items into the US by making false declarations to customs about the country of origin and value of the items.
According to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, he provided “false provenances which stated that [two] Egyptian antiquities were part of a collection assembled by Khouli's father in Israel in the 1960s” when in fact “Khouli acquired the Egyptian antiquities from other dealers”.
He was sentenced to one year of probation, six months of home confinement and 200 hours of community service in 2012 after admitting buying and smuggling Egyptian antiquities, including coffins, funerary boats and limestone figures.
For sale
A number of other items said to come from the collection of Ezeldeen Taha Eldarir are currently or recently for sale.
Their provenance is described in near identical terms as the British Museum shabti: bought from Salahaddin Sirmali, "authenticated and appraised" by Hossen Rashed, then imported to the US in 1948.
