LONDON, Oct 18 (Reuters) - The Bank of England said on
Friday it would publish the results of its annual assessment of
banks' readiness for financial shocks at 1700 GMT on Dec. 10.
Earlier this year the BoE said it would look at the
resilience of Britain's banking system to deep simultaneous
recessions in the domestic and global economies and large falls
in asset prices, and separately to misconduct costs.
Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds Banking Group, Nationwide Building
Society, Royal Bank of Scotland, Santander UK and Standard
Chartered are taking part in the process, which looks at whether
they hold enough capital.
