The chief executive officer of Lloyds Banking Group PLC has said he sees an opportunity for the UK to ‘stand out’ on a global stage following the new Trump presidency in the US.
CEO Charlie Nunn also said he welcomes the government’s intervention in the motor finance case, which has seen the bank set aside hundreds of millions of pounds for potential compensation.
Speaking to Bloomberg Television at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Nunn said there was ‘excitement’ in parts of the world following the political changes in America.
‘Obviously it’s early days in the Trump presidency, but our colleagues in North America are really excited about what’s going on,’ he said, adding that this sentiment had spread to other countries including Saudi Arabia and India.
Meanwhile, there is a ‘real concern about growth in Europe’, he said, while it was a slightly more mixed picture for the UK which has experienced some uncertainty in recent months.
He added that, if tariffs hit the rest of the world under the Trump presidency, growth could accelerate in the US but slow for other global economies.
The last time bankers got excited it didn't end well.

It is a fascinating situation. The world's leaders and top business people have to sit and listen to the world's most powerful man talking nonsense and lying. It reminds me a bit of the party stooges watching Castro or one of the Soviet leaders.
