The lender intends to acquire most of Tesco Plc's banking business. The financial institution is currently seeking to strengthen its position in the sphere of retail banking in the United Kingdom. Barclays expects risk-weighted assets to grow by £50 billion in the coming years. The financial institution intends to allocate £30 billion of this amount to its companies focused on the United Kingdom, including Barclays UK, the UK corporate bank, and the private bank and wealth management division. The financial institution will direct the remaining £20 billion to the United States consumer market, which is largely due to regulatory changes. This was stated by the bank's managers. C.S. Venkatakrishnan says that the investment unit of a financial institution will have to absorb the impact of higher capital requirements without receiving any additional capital from the lender. This means that by 2026, the investment bank will consume about 50% of Barclays' risk-weighted assets.
