The Bank of England said it would publish results of its annual stress tests of Britain’s seven major banks and building societies on December 1.
“The Bank of England will not comment on any speculation about the results until they are published. The results will be decided on November 30, not before,” it said in a news release.
The BoE said in March that this year’s tests would require lenders to show that they can cope with a global economic slump triggered by a sharp slowdown in China and a crash in the eurozone.
