LONDON, March 3 (Reuters) - The Bank of England said on Friday that reviews into LME Clear's suspension of trading on its nickel market in March last year had pointed to several shortcomings at the clearing house of the London Metal Exchange (LME). "Collectively, these reviews pointed to several shortcomings across LME Clear’s governance, management and risk management capabilities," the BoE said in a statement. "In response, LME Clear will need to strengthen its governance arrangements, increase independence in management and governance at the CCP, and improve on its wider risk management." The BoE said it would name an independent monitor to assess and report on LME Clear's promise of an implementation plan.
