After being spared from a highly anticipated cash grab, a fleet of banks announced a fresh pump of capital into the UK economy.

Britain's largest retail bank, Lloyds Banking Group, unveiled £35bn of new finance for 2026 to companies operating and investing in the UK in the hours following the Budget.

FTSE 100 giant Barclays also promised on Wednesday to “boost support to UK businesses and consumers” with further £45bn lending.
