LONDON (Reuters) – The Bank of England said on Wednesday it had delayed the publication of its regular assessment of the health of Britain’s banks, the Financial Stability Report (FSR), until Aug. 6 from a previous July 2 release date.

It cited last month’s publication of an interim version of the FSR which was released alongside a scenario suggesting economic output could return to pre-COVID levels next year, despite a 25% fall pencilled in for the current quarter.
