(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)——据英国《金融时报》周二报导,在英国“迷你”预算失败后,英格兰银行
可能会推迟出售数十亿英镑的政府债券,以鼓励市场更加稳定。
以金融体系稳定存在潜在风险为由,英国央行已经推迟了原定于 10 月 6 日开始减持
8,380 亿英镑(9,549 亿美元)政府债券的计划。
报告发布后英镑延续涨势,上涨 0.36% 至 1.1398 美元,逼近周一高点 1.144 美元,这
是自 10 月 5 日以来的最高水平。
该报称,央行高级官员的决定是在他们判断债券市场最近几周“非常痛苦”之后做出
的。
自 9 月 23 日前财政部长夸西·克瓦滕(Kwasi Kwarteng)宣布一系列减税措施以来,
英国金融市场一直处于压力之下,但没有详细说明将如何支付这些减税措施。
周一,英国新任财政部长杰里米·亨特(Jeremy Hunt)取消了首相利兹·特拉斯(Liz
Truss)的经济计划,并缩减了她庞大的能源支持计划,做出了历史性的政策大转弯,试
图阻止投资者信心急剧下降。
英国央行上一次干预债券市场是在 2020 年 3 月,以遏制大流行导致的价格波动,
将其当时处于休眠状态的量化宽松计划扩大了数千亿英镑。
