Results of the 2016 stress test
2016 stress test incorporated: • a synchronised UK and global
recession; • shocks to financial market prices;
and • a stress of misconduct costs.
More severe than stress tests ran in 2014 and 2015.
‘Hurdle’ was tougher, particularly for systemically important banks.
Peak-to-trough falls in nominal house prices in Bank of England stress-test scenarios and previous UK recessions(a)

UK banks have built their capital resilience over time
Sources: PRA regulatory returns, published accounts and Bank calculations.
Major UK banks’ capital ratios
13.5% RWA at Sept 2016,compared with internationally-agreed 4.5%
![Page 22: Finance in the South West 2017 - First Session](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110219/58b87f211a28ab44078b583d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Some major UK banks continue to face the challenge of weak profitability
Reflects:• Costs related to past
misconduct• Weak profitability of UK
banks’ investment banking businesses as certain business lines have shrunk materially.
Persistently weak profitability diminishes banks’ future ability to rebuild capital following a shock.
UK banks’ profitability remains low

Top Tips• Jobs & Growth – whole purpose of the Growth programme is to create jobs and
economic growth across rural areas, so tell us how your project will do this.
• Sell us your idea – explain clearly what your project does and how it will benefit the economy. It is a competitive process.
• Don’t ask for full amount if you don’t need it – we will assess your application on a competitive basis ensuring it represents value for money for the public purse. You should only apply for the amount you need to for the project to proceed.
• Show us what the grant funding means to your project – why is it critical you receive public money to enable it to happen.
• Do the market research – you have to be able to evidence that there is a real need/ demand for what you want to do.
