Bank Of England Says Market Infrastructure Passed ‘COVID Test’

“The Covid shock has been a test of this resilience, one that the financial plumbing has so far passed,” Stheeman said in a speech.

“But there is no room for complacency: firms had time to prepare for Covid, it evolved slowly at first, allowing them time to adapt.”
