Here at the Bank of England, we have been at the centre of the UK economy for more than 300 years.  We’re a public body and our work affects everybody.  It’s hard to capture all we do in one place but here’s a good start.  We print secure bank notes and oversee many of the UK’s payment systems, ensuring people can pay for things easily and safely. We set interest rates to maintain price stability, and regulate high street banks, building societies and insurance firms to maintain confidence in the financial system.  Alongside looking after the UK Economy now, we’re also looking to the future.  Be it shaping and delivering the future of payments or working to help the UK proactively manage the risks of climate change.
