The Bank of England has released its Financial Market Infrastructure (FMI) Annual Report for 2025, detailing the institution's supervisory activities over the past year.

The report highlights the Bank's focus on maintaining day-to-day supervision and implementing a clear policy agenda. This approach aims to ensure that FMIs remain financially and operationally resilient while supporting innovation in payments, settlement, and clearing processes.
Throughout the reporting period, the Bank's oversight of FMIs has played a significant role in safeguarding UK financial stability.
