Mst NewsTempus: Open planBarclays is wise, given the vascillating that has embarrassed its rivals, to refuse to rule out some kind of capital raising. The bank this morning admitted that its core equity Tier 1 capital ratio, which was already below the bank’s 5.25 per cent target at December, would fall even further, possibly to as low as 4.9 per cent according to analysts, by the half-year. Finance director Chris Lucas says that Barclays is "prepared to run ahead of targets or below, depending on circumstances".
