British Financial System
The British financial system is the economic structure that facilitates and regulates the circulation of money in the United Kingdom. The Bank of England, also known as “the Old Lady” or simply “the Bank”, has served as a central bank since 1694 and holds responsibility for setting monetary policy – including interest rates and controlling inflation – along with other responsibilities such as printing notes (a role it ceased from Spring 2020). Other major players include commercial banks which provide services to individuals, businesses and institutions; stock exchanges where shares are traded; clearing systems to ensure payments between buyers and sellers are settled securely; investment funds providing pooled investments for their customers through collective products such as unit trusts or open-ended investment companies (OEICs); insurance companies offering savings accounts with tax benefits alongside life assurance policies etc.

In recent years there have been increasing changes in how these entities operate due to technological advances like digital banking, mobile payments, cryptocurrencies etc., thus creating an ever-evolving landscape. This shift towards non-traditional forms of finance has created new opportunities but also presents challenges when it comes to regulation by traditional authorities who may not be well versed on modern technologies like blockchain – this is why many governments around the world are now looking into legislation surrounding virtual assets/currencies so they can better understand them before deciding whether any specific regulations should be introduced. It will certainly be interesting what happens next!
