HSBC is to set up a 拢6 billion fund for lending to small and medium sized businesses around the UK.

The investment comes after a backdrop of claims that banks were not lending enough to small firms.

Head of Business Banking at HSBC Amanda Murphy said 2014 would be a "turning point" for lending.

She told 麻豆约拍 Radio 5 live's Wake Up to Money: "It's probably the best time for many years for businesses to invest and grow and we want to play our part in that."
