### Summary assessment
- This paper assesses the stability of the financial system of the United Kingdom as a whole, not that of individual institutions.
- Since the last Financial Sector Assessment Program (FSAP), the U.K. financial system has put the legacy of the crisis behind it and has become stronger and more resilient.
- This FSAP found the system to be much stronger and thus better able to serve the real economy.
- The U.K. financial system is exposed to risks:
  - Its position as a global hub exposes the U.K. financial system to global risks.
  - The uncertainties associated with the possibility of British exit from the EU weigh heavily on the outlook.
