The UK Treasury plans to overhaul the ring-fencing regime to protect depositors at major retail banks and stimulate economic growth. Chancellor Rachel Reeves aims to unlock billions in lending capacity for Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds, Natwest, and Santander UK. Critics argue the current rules hinder growth by tying up capital. The proposed changes will allow banks to engage more in safer, ring-fenced operations, including lending to public financial institutions and infrastructure projects.
