The Bank of England has delayed the introduction of tougher global banking capital rules by a further year to prevent another 2008-style crash, blaming the second delay on a lack of clarity about its implementation in the US.

The Bank’s regulator, which made the decision after consultation with the Treasury, also said it was taking into account “competitive and growth considerations”.
