[JohnB]

A top Bank of England official has said the Occupy movement has played a key role in financial reformation.

Andrew Haldane, executive director of financial stability at the central bank, said Occupy's voice had been "loud and persuasive".

He said policymakers had listened to the campaign group, which seeks to reform the financial sector.

Mr Haldane told a meeting organised by Occupy in London that protesters had touched a "moral nerve".
