The Bank Of England has said it is “monitoring developments closely” after the UK voted to leave the European Union.
It comes after the Leave campaign secured a victory with 51% of the vote in favour.
In a short statement, the Bank of England said it will take “all necessary steps to meet its responsibilities for monetary and financial stability”.
It added that has “undertaken extensive contingency planning” and is working closely with HM Treasury, other domestic authorities and overseas central banks”.
