AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Budget Scrutiny: The government has opened an inquiry into a leak of a planned bank tax increase, putting the sector’s Budget treatment under scrutiny. Rates and Borrowers: The Bank of England has raised rates to 4%, with a further increase seen as possible in the near term as inflation pressure persists—bad news for borrowers facing higher mortgage costs. Fraud and AI: The FCA says financial-crime threats are intensifying, while a fraudster allegedly used AI to stage a bogus £154 million company takeover. Regulators are also watching how banks manage AI risks. Banking and Investment: Samsung Fire, KKR and KIC are set to buy UK insurer Canopius for $2.2 billion, while DE Shaw is reportedly in talks to back Monzo at a £7 billion valuation. Revolut, meanwhile, plans to slow hiring as it automates more work with AI.
