Development bank recommended to boost Welsh economy

A development bank for businesses has been recommended as a "catalyst and driving force" for them to help the Welsh economy continue to grow.

Professor Dylan Jones-Evans led a group examining concerns firms were not able to borrow the money they needed to expand and take on more staff.

It found a "market failure" in available finance.

The development bank, a first of its kind for part of the UK, could have a "significant impact" on small business.

BBC Wales business correspondent Brian Meechan reports.
