    Non-confidential version LLOYDS BANKING GROUP PLC ANNEXES TO THE RESPONSE TO THE CMA'S PROVISIONAL DECISION AND CONSULTATION DOCUMENT ON MARKET INVESTIGATION REFERENCE REGARDING PCAS AND SME BANKING 17 SEPTEMBER 2014 1 38118018 Non-confidential version ANNEX 1 LBG'S COMMENTS ON THE CMA AND FCA SME MARKET STUDY 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 LBG considers that the Provisional Decision presents a view of competition in the SME banking sector that is inconsistent with what LBG experiences on the ground. LBG believes that this is because the CMA has not given sufficient weight to the various structural, behavioural, regulatory and technological developments that have taken place and which continue to take place. The CMA has concluded that there are a number of features of the SME banking sector which give rise to competition concerns and would warrant a market investigation reference. These include: (a) demand-side issues in relation to a lack of customer activity. In particular: (i) low levels of shopping around and switching by SME customers, which impacts on the ability of new or smaller providers to acquire a sufficient number of profitable customers; and (ii) a lack of customer engagement, with SMEs not easily able to access, assess and act on information to ensure that they get the best deal, which results in low levels of shopping around and switching activity; (b) the structure of the market with persistent levels of high concentration and relatively stable market shares among providers of both BCAs and business loans; (c) the need for an extensive local branch network to acquire new customers and distribute products effectively; and (d) a market structure characterised by close linkages between PCAs and BCAs and between BCAs and general purpose business loans, which the CMA alleges limits the scope for newer or smaller providers to expand.
