Sorry finger painting time is over with this one.. back to work... We carry out stress tests to see if banks have enough capital to cope with a range of hypothetical economic situations. Each year, we assess banks based on a stress scenario that reflects the risks they face. We published the results of our latest stress test in our December 2019 Financial Stability Report. The stress test shows if banks have enough capital to keep lending during a period of economic stress. Banks must show us that their capital and leverage ratios would remain above the hurdle rates we set for them, even in the stress scenario. Banks can reduce costs in a period of stress by cutting the amount of retained earnings they pay out as distributions. This includes dividends, variable remuneration and

Banks can reduce costs in a period of stress by cutting the amount of retained earnings they pay out as distributions. This includes dividends, variable remuneration and coupons on their additional Tier 1 (AT1) capital instruments. These capital instruments can be converted into shares during a stress so they form part of a bank’s supply of capital, rather than an outstanding bond.
Banks pay out many types of distributions, including dividends & bonuses. If their capital position deteriorates, banks can cut distributions. Our latest stress-test results show banks would cut distributions by £41bn in a stress scenario. #BankOverground https://t.co/5LCol8c84r pic.twitter.com/nIH2VrpbzX— Bank of England (@bankofengland) February 17, 2020
