Independent: Barclays will tap sovereign wealth funds to cover its capital needs

An injection of £4bn would raise Barclays' equity tier one capital ratio to about 6 per cent, the minimum target set by RBS and HBOS. Analysts said that Barclays, which sees investment opportunities in current conditions, could choose to raise £5bn to give it more options.
