Organisation: Bank of England - Financial Policy Committee Timeline dates are only an estimate and can change. About the appointment
Introduction from the Chair
Thank you for your interest in becoming an external member of the Bank of England’s Financial Policy Committee (FPC). The FPC is the Bank’s macroprudential authority and plays a central role in the Bank’s work on financial stability. It identifies and monitors systemic risks that threaten the resilience of the UK financial system as a whole, and takes policy actions to remove or reduce those risks. This is a high-profile and influential role, selected personally by the Chancellor of the Exchequer so that the Financial Policy Committee benefits from wider expertise beyond the Bank’s own, and to provide constructive challenge during deliberations. The role entails a part-time commitment of an average 20 to 30 days a quarter, though actual experience can vary considerably. Members are appointed for a three-year term, with the possibility of reappointment at the end of the term; external members can serve a maximum of two terms. Person specification
