Industry: Investment

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of greater co-ordination between public finance institutions to increase investment in strategically important sectors identified in the industrial strategy.

Answered by Treasury

The government has assessed how Public Financial Institutions can work together more effectively while each institution addresses specific market gaps.

This has led to the establishment of the UK’s Public Investment Roundtable. This forum strengthens coordination through driving strategic alignment, facilitating practical collaboration between the Public Financial Institutions, and promoting a “no wrong door” approach to ensure customers can access suitable financing options from across the public finance landscape. The work of Public Finance Institutions supports the Industrial Strategy and the government’s wider priorities.
