British Bankers' Association chief executive Anthony Browne said:
"This was an Autumn Statement which focused clearly on supporting the UK's businesses. There were a number of targeted measures designed to help the UK's businesses and particularly SMEs.
"In our pre-statement submission to the Chancellor we called for steps to support growth and exports. We welcome today's announcements and will work with the Treasury and the business community to ensure companies gain maximum benefit from the opportunities before them to invest and grow and to support economic recovery."
