Courtesy of The Institute of Directors, we are pleased to share with you this rare opportunity to hear from Elisabeth Stheeman of the Bank of England Financial Policy Committee (FPC).
Elisabeth examines some of the possible risks to the financial system in the UK. These range from cyberattacks to innovation in payments. The FPC’s aim is to make sure the financial sector has the resilience to absorb, and not increase, any disruption.
