In 2024-25, the Bank supported £6.8 billion of finance, comprising £1.2 billion of public funding, £2.6 billion of lending guaranteed and £3.0 billion of private capital crowded in.
Figures for 2025-26 and 2026-27 are not yet publicly available and will be published in the British Business Bank's Annual Report and Accounts in due course.
