� Clear separation of roles between BoE <strong>and</strong> FSA.<br />
� BoE focused on monetary policy.<br />
� FSA focused on micro-prudential supervision <strong>and</strong><br />
(especially) consumer protection.<br />
� Who was responsible <strong>for</strong> financial stability?<br />
� Who was responsible <strong>for</strong> crisis management?<br />
