DBRS: BoE’s 2017 Stress Test Results Highlight Regulatory Concerns About Consumer Lending

BoE’s 2017 stress test demonstrated strengthened resilience of the UK banking system to severe macro, financial market and misconduct cost stress. Regulatory concerns about consumer lending were reflected in substantial losses on this asset class. In DBRS’s opinion the results of the 2017 stress test may lead to an increase in undisclosed PRA capital buffers for some institutions.
