Cunliffe on financial system and increased risk taking in markets

BOE
  • Banking system is in a robust state and has come through the crisis "pretty strongly" and stress tests suggest banking system has capital it needs to support the economy coming out of the pandemic.
  • On financial markets, saw some vulnerabilities in March 2020 with dash for cash on a global scale. "Exposed fault lines we need to tackle". Some assets highly valued versus historical precedents and that needs to be monitored.
  • Asked on increased risk taking in financial markets and how loose monetary policy contributes to elevated asset prices.
