BoE reviewing lenders dollar exposure: sources

Odaily News The Bank of England has asked some banks to test their resilience to potential dollar shocks, sources said. This is the latest sign of how the Trump administrations policies are eroding trust in the United States as a cornerstone of financial stability. People with direct knowledge of the matter said the Bank of England has asked some banks to assess their dollar funding plans and how dependent they are on the dollar. Another source said that in one case, a global bank headquartered in the United Kingdom was asked to carry out stress tests, including a scenario in which the dollar swap market could dry up completely. One analyst said this reflected a new pattern in which trust in international cooperation seemed to be breaking down. (Jinshi)
