**About the Group**

**Financial Stability Group**

The Financial Stability Group (FS) advises government on ensuring the stability of the UK financial system and through that the stability of the UK economy. We monitor new and existing risks to the financial stability of the UK and the global financial system, taking action to mitigate risks and combat these when needed.

We intervene directly to manage any public support for the financial services sector - including stewardship of (and exit from) the government’s interests in NatWest Bank.

We’re also responsible for ensuring that the financial authorities have the appropriate legal powers and resources to deal with future failures in the financial sector, as well as planning for future stability events.

The Group works with the Bank of England, the Prudential Regulation Authority, the Financial Conduct Authority, the intelligence agencies and international partners, to develop and maintain systems to monitor, assess and deal with financial stability risks.

**About the Team**

The Banking Assets and Resolution Strategy team is a friendly and inclusive team of 15 people, with a varied and interesting range of work within the Financial Stability Group. The team has a full and active forward agenda, with significant exposure to Ministers and senior officials.

The team comprises two units - the State-Owned Banking Assets unit and the Resolution Policy Unit.

The State-Owned Banking Assets unit is responsible for policy relating to financial sector assets taken on as a result of the 2007-2009 financial crisis, including the Treasury’s shareholding in NatWest Group (NWG) and ongoing interest in UK Asset Resolution (UKAR, a government owned company handling the government’s exposures to the legacy liabilities of Northern Rock and Bradford & Bingley). The unit works closely with UK Government Investments (UKGI) as it develops and advises Ministers on policy to exit these multi-billion pound interventions in the financial sector.

The Resolution Policy Unit is responsible for developing the UK’s resolution regime, which handles the failure of financial sector firms. The unit ensures the UK authorities have the legal powers and tools they need to manage the failure of financial sector firms, in a way that protects the wider economy and public funds. The unit works closely with the Bank of England, Prudential Regulatory Authority, Financial Conduct Authority, industry, and Parliament to deliver the vital legal powers and tool; and also with international
