Lloyds Banking in the UK has successfully hived off its TSB business, which now has a market capitalisation of Stg1.3bn ($A2.35bn). The issue price per share was Stg2.60, but on the listing date of 20 June 2014 the stock closed at $A2.90. Lloyds also said that the initial public offering was 10 times oversubscribed. The news is a boost to the plans of National Australia Bank for selling off its under-performing Clydesdale Bank assets in the UK. Clydesdale has achieved a turnaround as well, to record a March 2013 half-year profit after problem debts declined
