An excerpt from "HM Treasury Consults on FPC’s Macro-Prudential Tools"

On September 18, HM Treasury published a consultation paper on the powers to be made available to the Financial Policy Committee (FPC) to perform its macro-prudential regulatory role within the Bank of England under the regulatory regime being introduced under the Financial Services Bill currently before Parliament. The FPC will monitor the financial system and identify and address systemic risks. The FPC will have macro-prudential powers designed to allow the FPC to mitigate risks to financial stability. It will have powers of recommendation and powers of direction to help achieve its objectives.
