Financial Times - Bank of England consider urgent reform of deposit guarantee scheme
Summary of the front page
The lead story on the front page of the Financial Times says the Bank of England is considering “urgent” reforms to its deposit guarantee scheme following turmoil in the sector last month caused by the collapse of US lender Silicon Valley Bank, which saw billions withdrawn from the firm’s UK entity.

Another article on the paper’s front page says that China’s trillion-dollar Belt and Road Initiative has been hit by “spiralling bad loans”.
