Thanks Generali.
My guess is that is the impact of reduced Government borrowing freeing up funds for lending by banks to individuals. Each pound can only be lent once (yeah I know, fractional reserve banking means that's not quite true). If the Government borrows more, the rest of us can borrow less.0
