News release

The Financial Policy Committee (FPC) is moving to a model of publishing the FPC Statement and Record on the same day from Q1 2019. This is consistent with the Bank’s strategic aim of improving the way we communicate. The combined publication will be called the ‘Financial Policy Summary and Record’.

In quarters in which the FPC publish a Financial Stability Report (FSR), the Record of the Committee’s Policy meeting will be published alongside the FSR. The table below provides an update to the 2019 FPC publication dates to reflect these changes.

In May 2017 the Bank of England launched its new strategic plan, ‘Vision 2020.’ It has two main elements: how we work and how we communicate. See Governance and funding. The December 2019 FPC policy meeting date and Financial Stability Report and Record publication date have changed. See Change of publication date for the Financial Stability Report.
