Guarantees, not spending, so doesn't affect balance sheet.
Just enables banks to lend more freely at higher LTV from 2014. Bypasses cap withholding restrictions currently limiting mortgage lending.
So it's effectively an additional 130bn of high LTV lending on top of todays lending levels.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.
