Barclays CEO C.S.
Venkatakrishnan said he is "very optimistic" about the outlook for the U.K. economy, speaking to CNBC at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
"I think the U.K. consumer is in very decent shape ...
The typical products on offer to U.K. consumers are two-year and five-year mortgages.
So the two things that have hit the pocket book are coming down, and I will say I'm very optimistic on the U.K.," he added.
