UK think tank proposes taxing banks to fund public services, causing bank shares to fall by up to 4%.
The Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) has proposed that UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves impose a windfall tax on banks to raise up to £8 billion annually for public services.
The suggestion is in response to the Bank of England's bond-buying program, which has cost taxpayers around £22 billion a year.
The IPPR recommends a "QE reserves income levy," similar to a 1981 tax, to recover this money.
This proposal has caused UK bank shares to drop by up to 4%.
Bank executives warn that higher taxes could stifle economic growth.
