UK banks can withstand fresh crisis, key test finds
UK banks are strong enough to withstand a fresh economic crisis, according to The Bank of England.
In its Stress Test of the financial system, The Bank said the UK's eight largest lenders could survive a Worst Case scenario of plunging house prices, a deep recession and soaring inflation.
It also said that the country has " So Far been resilient" to rapidly rising interest rates.
But some households and firms " may struggle with repayments" on loans.
The Bank has raised interest rates from 0. 1% in December 2021 to 5% in an effort to bring down inflation. But it has lifted households' costs, including higher monthly mortgage payments.
Despite customers being under more pressure, lenders are " resilient and are strong enough to support their customers"
The Report also showed the result of a " Stress Test " on UK banks and building societies to see if they could withstand catastrophic economic conditions including house prices falling by 31%, the unemployment rate increasing to 8. 5% and inflation rising to 17%.
The Banks and building societies that have been tested include: Barclays, Lloyds, HSBC, NatWest, Santander Uk , Standard Chartered , Nationwide Building Society and Virgin Money .
