LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's central bank and finance ministry will make an announcement about their Funding for Lending Scheme at 0500 GMT on Wednesday, the Bank of England said on Tuesday.
The FLS opened for business in August last year, and offers banks and building societies cheap credit if they increase lending to households and businesses.
On Friday, chancellor George Osborne told reporters in Washington that he would announce changes to the scheme "fairly shortly" - in part due to concerns that its benefits were not reaching small businesses rapidly.
The trade body for British leasing companies, the Finance & Leasing Association, said on Monday that it was in talks with the government about extending the FLS to cover more firms in the sector.
The central bank and the finance ministry had no further comment on the announcement.
