(Reuters) -The Bank of England is likely to delay the sale of billions of
pounds of government bonds to encourage greater stability in gilt markets
following Britain's failed "mini" budget, the Financial Times reported on
Tuesday.
Citing potential risks to the stability of the financial system, BoE had
already delayed the start of a scheme to sell down 838 billion pounds
($954.90 billion) of government bond holdings, which had been due to begin on
Oct. 6.
The pound extended gains following the report, jumping 0.36% to $1.1398 and
approaching Monday's high of $1.144, the strongest level since Oct. 5.
The decision by the central bank's top officials comes after they judged the
gilts market to be "very distressed" in recent weeks, the newspaper said.
British financial markets have been under strain since former finance
minister Kwasi Kwarteng announced the string of tax cuts with no details of
how they would be paid for on Sept. 23.
On Monday, Britain's new finance minister Jeremy Hunt scrapped Prime Minister
Liz Truss's economic plan and scaled back her vast energy support scheme,
making a historic policy U-turn to try to stem a dramatic loss of investor
confidence.
The BoE last intervened in the gilt market in March 2020 to stem price
volatility caused by the pandemic, expanding its then-dormant quantitative
easing programme by hundreds of billions of pounds.

(路透社)——據英國《金融時報》週二報導,在英國“迷你”預算失敗後,英格蘭銀行
可能會推遲出售數十億英鎊的政府債券,以鼓勵市場更加穩定。
以金融體系穩定存在潛在風險為由,英國央行已經推遲了原定於 10 月 6 日開始減持
8,380 億英鎊(9,549 億美元)政府債券的計劃。
報告發布後英鎊延續漲勢,上漲 0.36% 至 1.1398 美元,逼近週一高點 1.144 美元,這
是自 10 月 5 日以來的最高水平。
該報稱,央行高級官員的決定是在他們判斷債券市場最近幾週“非常痛苦”之後做出
的。
自 9 月 23 日前財政部長誇西·克瓦滕(Kwasi Kwarteng)宣布一系列減稅措施以來,
英國金融市場一直處於壓力之下,但沒有詳細說明將如何支付這些減稅措施。
週一,英國新任財政部長傑里米·亨特(Jeremy Hunt)取消了首相利茲·特拉斯(Liz
Truss)的經濟計劃,並縮減了她龐大的能源支持計劃,做出了歷史性的政策大轉彎,試
圖阻止投資者信心急劇下降。
英國央行上一次干預債券市場是在 2020 年 3 月,以遏制大流行導致的價格波動,
將其當時處於休眠狀態的量化寬鬆計劃擴大了數千億英鎊。
