Background

Stop paying interest on the reserve accounts of commercial banks held at the Bank of England.

Additional details

This policy is economically contractionary and discourages banks from investing productively, and serves to encourage hoarding wealth and speculation over improving capacity in the real economy. Removing this from our monetary system will help to deliver a better standard of living and direct the power of endogenous money creation towards prosperity for all.
