The interim committee will release its first financial stability report on the June 24.

Part of the its work will be to consider what macro-economic tools the permanent committee should have and make recommendations to the Treasury on its findings.

The interim committee is made up of 13 members including governor Mervyn King, deputy governor for financial stability Paul Tucker, Financial Services Authority chairman Lord Turner and FSA chief executive Hector Sants.

The committee has four external members and two non-voting members, including Financial Conduct Authority chief executive designate Martin Wheatley.
