What happened
The Bank of England is establishing a new office at Capitol House in Bond Court in Leeds, which it plans to occupy starting in late 2028. The Bank currently has just under 300 staff in Leeds and aims to increase its workforce to at least 500 by 2027. The new site will eventually replace the Bank's existing office at Yorkshire House.
Why it matters
The move reflects a long-term commitment by the Bank of England to strengthen its presence across the UK and better represent regional communities. The expansion of staff in West Yorkshire is supported by local officials as a way to boost regional growth.
Andrew Bailey is the governor of the Bank of England, which operates in the UK.
