  • The Bank of England has said that it will publish the results of its hotly anticipated stress test of major UK banks next week, rather than in December as originally planned. The performance of the country's lenders has been in focus amid uncertainty around Brexit.
  • Société Générale has agreed to pay $1.34bn in fines and an enhanced monitoring programme for violating US sanctions against Cuba, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Myanmar and North Korea, according to notices issued by US agencies on Monday.
