  • 1 an Evolutionary Perspective on the British Banking Crisis Abstract
    An Evolutionary Perspective on the British Banking Crisis Abstract Developing an evolutionary perspective towards the changing anatomy of the banking sector reveals the enduring tensions and contradictions between spatial centralisation and the possibilities for decentralisation before, during and after the British banking crisis. The shift from banking boom to crisis in 2007 is conceptualised as a significant and on-going moment in the long-term evolution of the historical institutional-spatial dominance of London over other city-regions in Britain. The analysis demonstrates the importance of the institutional and geographical legacies of the British national political economy and variegation of capitalism established in the later nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in shaping contemporary geographical outcomes. Regulatory changes combined with financial innovation in the latter years of the twentieth century to create an opportunity for English regional and Scottish banks excluded from previous institutional-spatial centralisation to expand excessively and consequently several failed in the banking crisis. The paper considers the future trajectory of institutional-spatial centralisation in the banking sector amidst the continued spatial restructuring of the banking crisis, involving a re-drawing of organisational boundaries, overlapping institutional and technological changes and unprecedented uncertainty about the impact of Brexit on Britain’s wider political and economic landscape. Banking crisis evolutionary geographical political

  • Proposed Merger of Nationwide Building Society with Portman Building Society
    Proposed merger of Nationwide Building Society with Portman Building Society The OFT's decision on reference under section 33(1) given on 21 November 2006. Full text of decision published 27 November 2006. PARTIES 1. Nationwide Building Society (Nationwide) is a UK mutual building society registered under the Building Societies Act 1986. It provides a range of personal and business financial services. 2. Portman Building Society (Portman) is also a UK mutual building society registered under the Building Societies Act 1986. It also offers a range of personal and business financial services. Portman's UK turnover for the financial year ended 31 December 2005 was £210.9 million. TRANSACTION 3. The transaction involves the merger of Nationwide with Portman by way of transfer of engagements under section 94 of the Building Societies Act 1986. The transaction was announced on 12 September 2006 and the transfer of engagements is to become effective in August or September 2007. 4. The merger was notified to the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) on 26 September 2006. The administrative deadline is 21 November 2006. JURISDICTION 5. As a result of this transaction, Nationwide and Portman will cease to be distinct. The turnover test in section 23(1) of the Enterprise 1 Act 2002 (the Act) is met as Portman's turnover in the UK exceeds £70 million. The OFT therefore believes that it is or may be the case that a relevant merger situation will be created. FRAME OF REFERENCE 6. The parties overlap in the provision of mortgages, savings accounts, insurance products, pensions and long-term investments to personal customers.

  • Stress Testing the UK Banking System: 2017 Results
    November 2017 Stress testing the UK banking system: 2017 results On 5 July 2018, Table A5C in Annex 5 was amended to correct a Bank of England calculation used to produce the impairment rates. November 2017 Stress testing the UK banking system: 2017 results Background information on the FPC and the PRA The Financial Policy Committee (FPC) was established under the Bank of England Act 1998, in amendments made to that Act by the Financial Services Act 2012. The legislation establishing the FPC came into force on 1 April 2013. The objectives of the Committee are to exercise its functions with a view to contributing to the achievement by the Bank of England of its Financial Stability Objective and, subject to that, supporting the economic policy of Her Majesty’s Government, including its objectives for growth and employment. The responsibility of the Committee, with regard to the Financial Stability Objective, relates primarily to the identification of, monitoring of, and taking of action to remove or reduce, systemic risks with a view to protecting and enhancing the resilience of the UK financial system. The FPC is accountable to Parliament. The Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) is a part of the Bank of England and responsible for the prudential regulation and supervision of banks, building societies, credit unions, insurers and major investment firms. The PRA has two primary objectives: to promote the safety and soundness of these firms and, specifically for insurers, to contribute to the securing of an appropriate degree of protection for policyholders. The PRA also has a secondary objective to facilitate effective competition.
