United Kingdom : Financial Sector Assessment Program-Financial System Stability Assessment
June 17, 2016--Summary: Since the last FSAP, the U.K. financial system has put the legacy of the crisis behind it and has become stronger and more resilient. Five years ago, the financial system had stabilized but still faced major residual weaknesses.
This FSAP found the system to be much stronger and thus better able to serve the real economy. Like all systems, the U.K. financial system is exposed to risks. Given its size, complexity, and global interconnectedness, if these risks were to materialize they could have a major impact not only on the U.K. but also on the global financial system. Financial stability in the U.K. is thus a global public good. At the same time, understanding, mitigating, and staying a step ahead of the evolving risks in such a complex system is a constant analytical and policy challenge for U.K. policy-makers and regulators.

Boosting growth and strengthening the union requires a more balanced policy mix combining structural reforms, fiscal support from centralized initiatives, and continued adjustment in countries with high debt levels. Member states must abide by the rules to make the monetary union function, but at the same time, more centralized demand support and risk sharing are needed to make membership more attractive.
