The Bank of England on Monday launched its bank capital stress test for 2025.
The resilience of the U.K.'s seven largest banks and building societies to deep recessions, large asset price drops, higher interest rates and levels of misconduct costs will be assessed by the testing of hypothetical stress scenarios.
The central bank aims to be able to ensure that lenders can absorb rather than amplify potential shocks, it said.
The test's aggregate results will be published in the fourth quarter and will be used to the setting of capital buffers.
Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds Banking Group, Nationwide, NatWest, Santander UK and Standard Chartered--who represent 75% of lending to the U.K. real economy--will also publish results at an individual bank level.
