    1. The Bank of England’s Financial Policy Committee (FPC) has decided to exclude c4entral bank reserves from the exposure measure in the current UK leverage ratio framework, with immediate effect.
    2. In doing so, the FPC’s aim is to ensure that the leverage ratio does not act as a barrier to the effective implementation of policy measures that might lead to an increase in central bank reserves.  These measures include actions taken to maintain monetary and financial stability since the referendum on the United Kingdom’s membership of the European Union: the package of actions being announced today by the Monetary Policy Committee; and the precautionary step announced by the Bank on 30 June to provide additional flexibility in the Bank’s provision of liquidity insurance by continuing to offer indexed long-term repo operations on a weekly basis until end-September 2016.

    The Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) sets monetary policy to meet the 2% inflation target, and in a way that helps to sustain growth and employment.  At its meeting ending 3 August 2016, the MPC voted for a package of measures designed to provide additional support to growth and to achieve a sustainable return of inflation to the target.  This package comprises:  a 25 basis point cut in Bank Rate to 0.25%; a new Term Funding Scheme to reinforce the pass-through of the cut in Bank Rate; the purchase of up to £10 billion of UK corporate bonds; and an expansion of the asset purchase scheme for UK government bonds of £60 billion, taking the total stock of these asset purchases to £435 billion.  The last three elements will be financed by the issuance of central bank reserves.
