CBDC versus cryptocurrency
A CBDC would be fundamentally different to cryptocurrencies or cryptoassets.
Cryptoassets combine new payments systems with new currencies that are not issued by a central bank. Examples of privately issued digital currencies include Bitcoin, Ether (Ethereum) and XRP. We have written about the economics of digital currencies and innovations in payment systems and the emergence of digital currencies.
Our Financial Policy Committee has assessed cryptoassets and concluded that they do not currently pose a risk to monetary or financial stability in the UK. However, cryptoassets do pose risks to investors and anyone buying cryptoassets should be prepared to lose all their money.
In January 2021, HMT published its ‘UK regulatory approach to cryptoassets and stablecoins: consultation and call for evidence’. The consultation closed on 21 March 2021.
HMT’s consultation set out objectives for a UK regime for crypto-assets. These included: protecting financial stability; ensuring consumer protections; and promoting competition and innovation. The consultation outlined HMT’s proposed approach for an overarching framework to bring crypto-assets into the scope of activities that are regulated – the ‘regulatory perimeter’.

High-level mission and strategy
Our Centre was established in 1990, and is one of the oldest providers of international central banking technical co-operation and assistance.
Our mission is to equip central bankers and financial regulators – both in the UK and across the globe – with the frontier skills and expert knowledge they need to tackle the challenges they face.
We do this to promote global and UK economic stability, as well as to support wider international development objectives. Our ambition to be at the frontier of global central banking also directly supports the Bank of England’s international mission.
Working with our colleagues across the Bank of England, we achieve this through:
- Our programme of international seminars and conferences for central bankers and regulators from all over the world. These cover a blend of:
- novel and emerging areas which are high on the international central banking policy, operational and research agendas;
- the best in class toolkits, techniques and approaches used in modern central banking; and
- thematic and traditional areas of central banking – where we believe we can help build skills through the sharing of our experience.
- Our programme of technical co-operation and training with specific central banks in emerging Africa, Asia and the Middle East. This programme has been developed through our partnership with the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (formerly the Department for International Development).
- Conducting our own analytical work and research to push the knowledge frontier and showcasing that internationally.
- We also support the Bank’s wider internal and external skill-building activities, most notably, the post-graduate qualifications in global central banking and financial regulation developed with Warwick University.
Our approach to international seminars and workshops
Our international seminars and workshops are for central bankers and financial regulators only and geared towards experienced professionals. This focus allows us to promote open and frank debate among our community. Most are open to central banker and regulators from all over the world. Some, however, are by invitation only.
They tend to be pitched at the cutting-edge of central banking and financial regulation. And in all our work we endeavour to promote best practice.
They are practitioner focused, drawing on our own experience, those from other countries as well as in some cases experts from academia and other organisations. Our format is usually a mixture of lectures, discussions, case studies and exercises.
We promote diversity in all its forms. We offer an inclusive environment and actively encourage the sharing of experience. We are keen to learn from the rest of the world and challenge our own thinking, particularly in our policy seminars.
Moreover we strongly encourage diverse participation in terms of race; gender; sexual orientation; disability; religion as well as local minorities in your home countries. We politely ask decision-makers to bear this in mind when nominating candidates.
All our international seminars and workshops are free of charge.
And in 2021 specifically…
Spurred by the Covid crisis we are investing in new and more nimble forms of delivery. In 2020 we pivoted our workshops towards virtual delivery. That will continue for the foreseeable future in 2021.
We will continue to accommodate requests to allow multiple participants from any individual institution.
Reflecting the virtual environment our seminars and workshops will remain shorter than physical counterparts, typically operating from 11:00–15:30 UK time.
We aim to expand on our advertised programme over the year, through the provision of short knowledge-sharing webinars. We will build this catalogue as our experience of virtual delivery improves and in response to your feedback.
We also aim to make source material/other resources available to participants and the rest of the central banking community to enhance access and inclusion.

Bank of England Museum
The Bank of England Museum is located on the eastern side of the Bank of England, in London. It covers around 10,000 square feet (1,000 square meters), and includes a reconstruction of a late eighteenth-century office. Known as «The Stock Office,» this is where holders of bank stock would come to collect their dividends.
The displays cover the history of the bank in roughly chronological order, including many images showing the rebuilding of the Bank in the inter-war years. Another section, called «The Bank Today,» uses modern technology to bring the Bank’s current activities to a wider audience.
The collections include banknotes and coins, books and documents, pictures, furniture, statues, silver, and a gold bar that can be handled.
How we’re funded
Although we are a public body, we do not get a budget from the UK Treasury. Instead, we generate the funds we need for our work by:
- investing the money banks have to hold with us (this is called the ‘Cash Ratio Deposit scheme’)
- charging the firms we regulate a fee
- providing banking services to our customers, who include overseas central banks
- charging for the cost of producing banknotes
- charging a management fee for services we provide to government agencies
- investing the capital we have built up over 300 years
We generate more income than we spend, so each year we contribute millions of pounds to the UK Treasury.
Read our short guide to Who pays for the Bank of England?
You can also find more information about our sources of funds in the of our Annual Report (page 28).
Our financial reporting
We publish accounts on the same basis as a normal company. We pay corporation tax on our profits and a dividend to the Treasury as shareholder. A memorandum of understanding with the Treasury sets out the dividend formula and the relationship to capital.
World War One
On 10 August 1914, the Court of Directors minutes announced that the Governor ‘had granted leave with full pay to as many clerks as could possibly be spared to serve in the Defensive Forces of the Country.’
Seventy-one Bank of England staff lost their lives during World War One. Today, we honour those members of staff, along with those who died during World War Two, in the Bank’s entrance hall and with a statue in the garden court that was commissioned after the war.
The Bank of England played an important role in helping the Government finance the war, for example by issuing War Stocks in 1914. Although it was reported that these war stocks were oversubscribed, the public did not actually buy enough to help fund the effort. The Bank therefore bought much of the stock out of its own reserves, and hid this fact to maintain public confidence. This was recently discovered in analysis of the Bank’s ledgers by our researchers.

The Restriction Period
In 1797 France declared war on Britain. When a small French force landed on mainland Britain, fears of invasion quickly spread. During this time, the public rushed to the Bank of England to convert their banknotes into gold, which was possible at the time. The amount of gold held by the Bank dropped from £16 million to just £2 million.
To try to preserve the already depleted gold reserves, the Prime Minster, William Pitt the Younger, placed a Privy Council Order on the Bank of England, ordering it to stop paying notes in gold.
This famous cartoon denotes William Pitt the Younger attempting to ‘woo’ the gold off an old lady representing the Bank of England. This was an effort to help fund the upcoming war with France.

Our response to climate change
The risks from the physical effects of climate change and the transition to a net-zero economy are relevant to our mission to maintain monetary and financial stability. In particular, these risks pose a threat to the stability of the wider financial system, and the safety and soundness of firms we regulate. As such, climate change is a strategic priority for us.
Our objective is to: ‘play a leading role, through our policies and operations, in ensuring the financial system, the macro-economy, and the Bank of England are resilient to the risks from climate change and supportive of the transition to a net-zero economy.’
We aim to build this resilience and support the transition by ensuring that climate-related financial risks are pro-actively managed and pre-emptively mitigated through our policy functions (eg our supervision of banks and insurers) and the management of our own operations (eg the carbon footprint of our buildings and corporate bond holdings).
Our climate strategy continues to evolve, reflecting the progress we have made to date, updates to our policy committees’ remits and recommendations, and the opportunities presented in 2021 by the UK’s presidency of the G7 and hosting the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26).
Find out more about our current climate strategy. It is built around five key goals.

Функции
Банк Англии (Лидс)
Банк Англии выполняет все функции центрального банка. Наиболее важными из них предполагается поддержание стабильности цен и поддержка экономической политики Правительства, для обеспечения экономического роста. С этой целью банк решает задачи в следующих ключевых областях:
- Поддержание стабильности курса и покупательной способности национальной валюты (фунта стерлингов). Для обеспечения этой цели проводится соответствующая политика процентных ставок, подразумевающая соответствие реальной ситуации инфляционной цели (на 2019 — 0,75 % годовых), которая определяется правительством.
- Поддержание стабильности финансовой системы, как национальной, так и мировой.
- Обеспечение финансовой стабильности предполагает защиту от угроз для всей финансовой системы. Угрозы исследуются органами надзора и аналитическими службами Банка. Угрозы устраняются путём финансовых и других операций, как на национальном рынке так и за рубежом. В исключительных случаях Банк может выступать в качестве «кредитора последней инстанции».
Обеспечение эффективности финансового сектора Великобритании.
Банк сотрудничает с рядом других учреждений для обеспечения как денежной, так и финансовой стабильности, в том числе:
- Казначейство Великобритании (HMS Treasury);
- Управление по финансовому регулированию и надзору Великобритании (Financial Services Authority);
- Другие центральные банки и международные организации, с целью совершенствования международной финансовой системы.
В 1997 году был подписан Меморандум о взаимопонимании между Банком Англии, Казначейством и Управлением по финансовому регулированию и надзору, описывающий условия и принципы взаимодействия этих организаций для обеспечения общей цели повышения финансовой стабильности.
Банк Англии обладает монополией на выпуск банкнот в Англии и Уэльсе. Банки Шотландии (The Royal Bank of Scotland, The Bank of Scotland и The Clydesdale Bank) и Северной Ирландии (Bank of Ireland, First Trust Bank, Northern Bank и Ulster Bank) сохранили право выпуска собственных банкнот, но их эмиссия должна быть подкреплена наличием депозита в размере 1:1 в Банке Англии, за исключением нескольких миллионов фунтов, которые они имели в обороте в 1845 году. В 2002 году Банк решил продать свои предприятия по печати банкнот компании De La Rue.
С 1997 года Комитет по денежной политике несёт ответственность за установление официальных процентных ставок. Однако, вместе с тем решением о предоставлении Банку операционной независимости, в 1998 году ответственность за управления государственным долгом была возложена на новую структуру — Департамент по управлению Государственным долгом Великобритании (UK Debt Management Office), которой в 2000 году также были переданы функции по управлению финансами Правительства. С 2004 года функции регистратора для облигаций Правительства Англии (также известных как Британские государственные облигации (Gilts)) переданы компании Computershare.
2 июня 2016 года был анонсирован выпуск первых пластиковых банкнот. Полимерная купюра достоинством в 5 фунтов стерлингов, на которой изображен один из известных британских премьер-министров Уинстон Черчилль, появится в обращение с 13 сентября. Позже планируется выпустить пластиковые купюры в 10 и 20 фунтов.

What is Bank Rate?
Bank Rate is the single most important interest rate in the UK. In the news, it’s sometimes called the ‘Bank of England base rate’ or even just ‘the interest rate’.
Our Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) sets Bank Rate. It’s part of the Monetary Policy action we take to meet the target that the Government sets us to keep inflation low and stable.
Bank Rate determines the interest rate we pay to commercial banks that hold money with us. It influences the rates those banks charge people to borrow money or pay on their savings.
How Bank Rate affects your interest rates
If Bank Rate changes, then normally banks change their interest rates on saving and borrowing. But Bank Rate isn’t the only thing that affects interest rates on saving and borrowing.
Interest rates can change for other reasons and may not change by the same amount as the change in Bank Rate. To cover their costs, banks need to pay less on saving than they make on lending. But they can’t pay less than 0% on savings or people might not deposit any money with them.
Settlement services
We currently support four settlement models: real-time gross settlement, delivery versus payment (DvP), and prefunded and unfunded models for deferred net settlement.
We provide settlement services for the CHAPS payment system, the payment system embedded within the CREST securities settlement system and a number of retail payment systems that settle on a net basis. Each system determines its own access criteria as well as the number and duration of any settlement cycles.
Final sterling settlement for CLS, a foreign exchange settlement system that eliminates settlement risk in participating currencies, is carried out through CLS’s direct participation in CHAPS.
