Following the Bank of England’s 2017 stress test, the FPC said that regulatory capital buffers for individual firms should now be set so that each bank can absorb losses on consumer lending, alongside all the other effects of the stress test on its balance sheet. This will ensure lenders are resilient to any defaults related to consumer credit.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 22/05/2018 15:57:01 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen
