‘Overview of Financial Sector Pandemic Flu Planning’

The UK Tripartite Authorities have published the above brief report, written with the assistance of the Financial Sector Discussion Group on Pandemics.

The overview seeks to inform businesses and the public of the work that has been done and is under way, and to provide information on how the financial sector expects to be able to deal with the consequences of a pandemic. It is divided into three sections. The first section looks briefly at the importance of the financial sector to the UK economy; the second focuses on the sector-coordinated planning that is under way; and the third outlines how the financial sector is planning to manage the consequences of a pandemic.

Other organisations with an input into the report include: the Retail Banks Business Continuity Group (RBBCG), the Securities Industry Business Continuity Management Group (SIBCMG), the British Bankers’ Association (BBA), the London Investment Banking Association (LIBA), the Association of Foreign Banks (AFB), the UK Payments Association (APACS) and the Association of British Insurers (ABI).
