0942 GMT - There is great opportunity in figuring out how to develop investment, and boost employment and consumer confidence to stimulate the U.K. economy, Lloyds Banking Group Chief Executive Charlie Nunn tells CNBC at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. "Number one on my mind is: how do we get customers businesses to invest more, to spend more, to hire more, and actually get to a higher growth trajectory?" he says. The British lender is seeing rising optimism from small and medium enterprises as inflationary pressures wane and rates continue to decline, he adds. (elena.vardon@wsj.com)
