The UK banking system would be able to continue to support the economy even if conditions turn out materially worse than expected, the Bank of England said today. Announcing the results of its latest stress test, the Bank said no individual institution was required to strengthen its capital position. The test scenario was based on a severe global supply shock, leading to a deep recession and rise in inflation that required central banks to hike interest rates. In the stress test, the aggregate Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio starts at 14.5% and falls to a low point of 11% in the first year. The Bank’s financial stability committee also announced today that it intends to ease capital requirements for lenders by one percentage point to 13%.

All three indexes snapped five-day win streaks.
Wizz Air reported a robust performance in November 2025, with a 9% increase in passenger numbers and a strong load factor of 90.7%, despite expanding its seat capacity by 9.5%.
