Financial Stability Report

The Financial Stability Report, published twice a year by the Bank of England under the guidance of the interim Financial Policy Committee, shows the Committee's assessment of the outlook for the stability and resilience of the financial sector at the time of preparation of the Report, and the policy actions it advises to reduce and mitigate risks to stability. Usually, if the BoE is hawkish about the financial outlook, it is positive, or bullish, for the GBP. Likewise, if the BoE has a dovish view on the UK economy and is concern about the financial stability it is seen as negative, or bearish.
