BoE’s Cunliffe: Not our job to protect banks against digital currencies
Bank of England Deputy Governor Jon Cunliffe reportedly said it was not his job to protect banks from the impact of future digital currencies, which could dramatically reduce households’ willingness to hold money in traditional bank accounts. “Our job is not to protect bank business models,” Cunliffe said at an online seminar. “Banks will have to adjust. Our job is to ensure that if bank business models change, we manage the financial and macro-economic consequences of that.”
