If the government proceeds with its share sale in the spring, there is also the prospect of a discount to the market value. Should private investors buy in? In the second part of this three-part special, we look at what is moving in the banking group’s favour. Note: as we were putting this podcast together, the price of a Lloyds share was 70p.
