Financial policy committee gets new member

The FPC’s main task is to oversee system-wide risk in the financial sector. He will become executive director for financial stability and risk on 16 March and will join the FPC on 1 April, filling the vacancy left by Spencer Dale.
The Bank also said it had appointed Sam Woods as executive director for insurance supervision, effective 7 April.
