The Bank of England has published "What is West Nile virus and is it found in the UK?", contributing to the public record of the central bank's work across its statutory responsibilities.
The publication is one of many that the Bank produces in the course of its work to maintain monetary and financial stability. Each publication, whether a research paper, a policy statement, a statistical release or a record of a meeting, contributes to the Bank's mission and to the transparency that is essential to its legitimacy.
The Bank has said it regards the publication of its work as a core part of its accountability to the public. As an institution with significant powers that affect the lives of every person in the United Kingdom, the Bank has a duty to explain its decisions and to subject its analysis to external scrutiny.
The document is available on the Bank's website. The Bank encourages anyone with an interest in its work to read the publication and to engage with the issues it addresses.
