Britain's Lloyds bank to raise $34 billion
  1. The greatest 'triumph' of this entire episode for Lloyds is probably the capitulation by Brussels, possibly assisted by the U.K. government, apparently choosing to give Lloyds special treatment in comparison to all other state-aided banks

  2. It appears strange that Lloyds is only required to sell (within four years) a selection of assets ... all of which it might well have chosen to sell anyway.

  3. The news is potentially good for both U.K. consumers and rival banking groups, although more debatable for both Lloyds and RBS shareholders

  4. UK consumers will in theory enjoy increased choice and lower pricing, while rivals such as HSBC will be glad to see their rivals paying for their mistakes.
