BBA Statement Regarding Emails Released By The Bank Of England
Date 20/07/2012
In respect of the BBA 2008 consultation document on LIBOR
The BBA said:
"In its emails the British Bankers' Asociation was drawing the attention of the Bank of England to the need for strong governance being a feature of the BBA's Libor consultation and the BBA's desire that the Bank of England should play a formal role in the process going forward. The BBA was proposing that a similar invitation be extended to the FSA and to other key central banks. The involvement sought was their presence at the independant FX and MM committee. The view of the BBA was that, given the importance of LIBOR, a formal role for the Bank of England and others was a necessary part of the future governance process and we were requesting their assistance.The Bank declined and we understood that they had discussed this issue with other authorities as well. At their request this reference was therefore removed from the document. -

Date 20/07/2012
Ladies and gentlemen,
Thank you very much for inviting me to speak at this session on central bank cooperation in times of crises. From the euro area perspective, central bank cooperation has worked very well during the crisis. We have had continuous dialogue since the early stages of the crisis in 2007, which continues to the present day. Our network of currency swap lines with the Federal Reserve, the Bank of England, the Swiss National Bank, the Bank of Japan and Bank of Canada have helped ensure foreign liquidity for the euro area and euro liquidity abroad. There has also been successful international cooperation through the IMF. Overall, these measures have played an important role in easing strains in financial markets
