A modest increase in bank taxes is not the end of the world for lenders | Nils Pratley
Guardian columnist Nils Pratley argues that a modest rise in bank levies would not threaten lenders, provided the Treasury keeps the increase limited. He suggests that a small adjustment to the surcharge would not significantly disrupt the flow of capital, and warns against excessive taxation that could strain the banking sector. He also notes that the overall financial system remains resilient.
