Banking and Finance Law LLM students visit the Bank of England
Thanks to Professor Rosa Lastra, on the 11 December, Queen Mary Banking and Finance LLM students had the opportunity to visit the Bank of England with the guidance of Deputy Secretary Micheal Salib.
The visit was focused on the history of the Bank of England, the evolution of its role and its core functions.
Attention was given to the Bank’s building itself, which architecture reflects the different phases of the institution’s history and its changing responsibilities. The visit helped place the Bank’s current tasks: monetary stability, financial stability, and supervision; within a broader historical and institutional context.
Overall, the visit provided a clearer understanding of how the Bank of England’s primary and secondary mandates have developed in response to economic change, and how its physical and institutional structure embodies that evolution.
