Alistair Darling may see his budget deficit balloon to a record 100bn in the coming year as a potential recession bites, experts have warned.

Barclays' 4.5bn placing and open offer was shunned by most of its investors, leaving key institutional shareholders and sovereign wealth funds to pick up most of the issue. The bank said yesterday that existing shareholders had opted to buy just 19pc of the new shares issued under a placing and open offer programme.

Citigroup, Americas biggest financial services operation, reported a further $14.2 billion (7.1 billion) hit from the credit crunch in its second quarter, taking it to an overall loss of $2.5 billion for the period. However, its shares surged $1.63, or 9.1 per cent, to $19.60 as the loss, which equates to 54 cents a share, came in well below the 67 cents-a-share deficit analysts had forecast.

The country's biggest mortgage lender has cut some of its rates for the second time in a week, raising hopes that the worst of the turmoil in the home loans market could be over. Halifax's move, which sees it cut 22 of its mortgage deals, comes just a few days after Nationwide cut many of its deals for the second time in as many weeks.

The value of homes in Britain could slump by a further 20 per cent in the next two years as the number of buyers continues to fall, experts predicted yesterday.

Big companies are delaying payment to smaller suppliers by more than 100 days in the biggest squeeze on small firms' cashflows since the early 1990s.
