Today we called on investors to create an ‘Investment Big Bang’ in Britain, to drive the UK’s recovery from the pandemic as we build back better.
• As we work to recover our economy from the effects of the pandemic, we should be unlocking the hundreds of billions of pounds sitting in UK institutional investors.
• That is why, in an open letter to industry, the Prime Minister and the Chancellor challenged UK institutional investors to seize the moment for an ‘Investment Big Bang’ and consider investing a greater proportion of their capital in long-term UK assets – from pioneering firms to infrastructure.
• This will help pensions savers to access better returns and support an innovative greener future for the UK, helping to drive our recovery from the pandemic and boost long-term growth as we build back better.
