» The Bank of England bowed to pressure to launch independent reviews of its own performance during the crisis. The reviews will look at the central bank's emergency-lending operations in 2008-09, its inflation-forecasting record and the system for providing money to banks. But its critics want the reviews to go further and examine its pre-crisis attention to financial stability.
