As the FT observe, #RishiSunak's shifts on (or watering down of) commitment to #NetZero, 'will exacerbate the general uncertainty & lack of trust in the government to stick to its commitments that have led to business investment flatlining since 2016'!

I would hesitate to say Govt. successive declarations & UTurns are the *only* reason for the UK's #investment problem but the FT is surely right that it is a major contributing factor....

A bit of a favourite of mine from when I was recommending analysts to students, here's Marianne Mazzucato outlining her position on why governments need clear #investment plans.

Mazzucato has long been arguing for 'smart' activist government with a better understanding of risk & how #innovation can be supported.

This is a really good summary of her position & I would urge anyone seeking to understand how we could do a better job of government take time to read this!

I think that what @pluralistic calls #enshittification can be extended beyond #tech and applied to business dealings in general. #China in the first to come to mind where over time the demands of the authoritarian regime become more abusive and absurd. But because of the #investment and the huge #market they cannot (will not) stand up to the government. This can be extended to #Russia as well. How many joint ventures were squeezed out once #technology transfer and/or infrastructure building was complete. Will this happen with #Modi and #India as well? The trap of constantly searching for cheap #labor and lack of #regulation naturally leads to doing business with unsavory people/governments.

UK infrastructure investment falls by nearly two-thirds following Brexit. New public sector lenders are failing to make up for losses due to Britain's exit from the European Investment Bank.

#Brexit #EIB #infrastructure #investment #UKIB

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/sep/14/exclusive-new-uk-banks-post-brexit-investment-only-one-third-of-lost-eu-funds?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other

Some #Brexiters may argue (not completely implausibly) that it is too early to conclude that the UK's replacement for #EuropeanInvestmentBank development support is running at only a third of the level of the EU's provision of #Investment funds, but currently the gap is striking.

For optimists, the start of the UK Development Banks record doesn't look unlike the early years of the EIB's disbursement of funds... for pessimists, every year it falls short emphasises the negative impact of #Brexit

Chart: Since leaving the EIB, the UK has only been able to replace a third of pubic investment. Real terms annual investment into the UK.

Chart show EIB investment growing pretty steadily from 1973, to a peak of £8bn (annually) in 2016.

After seven years, UK development bank's investments are just over £2bn

Why I choose to use #Chrome instead of #Firefox #browser

and

why I use #Chromebook instead of #linux and #windows

Back in 2016-2022

I road the whole online #privacy, and Linux train wagon.

ranging from

#vpns local #encryption *tying* out #tor and #proxyservers

to

switching away to #Ubuntu into something called #BodhiLinux and changing the desktop manager to a window manager called #openbox and using a separate taskbar called #tint2 and setting it to always load the task bar on start up along with openbox to improve os performance.

1. I'd rather use Chrome anyday then #Firefox despite the privacy benefits, because Firefox just isn't really as optimised and performing as Chrome beause most sites are designed for Chrome.

2. To avoid the social embassment of being a computer geek, when you go out your house and are using Firefox you might think your cool but must normal people will likely be like; 'what's a firefox?' but if you talk about chrome they'l more likely know about it. They'l respect you more, and you go up the social ladder, and not down. Same logic is applied to #linux .

3. I don't use #windows because while it is commonly used, no one actually likes it, or respects it including normal users. It is a laughing stock. while #Chromebook is an os for the most popular browser, while also being rid of ads, supports #android apps, and #Linux apps, and is easy to access and use. #chromeos

these three reasons has helped me to make the decision to stick with #Google Chrome browser and Chromebooks.

Why do I use #mastodon ? because when I use social media online i'm not usually talking with people in real life so to me it doesn't impact my #socialcircle, but at the same time I do learn stuff I other wise wouldn't as likely on other social platforms. So it's worth the #investment of my time.

#googlechrome

You will have heard that #JeremyHunt thinks that labour market participation is a major problem for the UJK - too few of us are available for work... but our participation rate is above France & the US, a little below Germany but really that different at all.

The problem of course is #productivity; whether due to a lack of capital #investment, bad management, or weak training/education (or all 3), we need more #workers in work because productivity is low(er) than our economic competitors.

Chart: Trends in labour market supply vary across countries. Labour force participation rate (% of population aged 15-64)

Chart show rate in the UK growing (unevenly) from around 76.5% to nearly 79% between 2004 & now..

Germany's rate has gone from below 74% to nearly 80% over the same period.

the US has dropped (again unevenly) from 75.5% to 74.5%

While France has gone up from 72% (from 2004-2020) to nearly 74% now

The #IPPR rightly follows Marianna Mazzucato & suggests that UK Govt. needs to invest directly in #greentehcnology;

as I've said before this make perfect sense; not only would it help accelerate the #greentransition, it would also pump-prime the UK's current lamentable #investment environment for #manufacturers...

Its a policy that the Labour Party should get behind.... its certainly a better use of #taxpayers money than subsidising #fossilfules (see earlier post)

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/aug/23/uk-needs-dragons-den-approach-investing-net-zero-thinktank

Unsurprisingly in many cases the #tax paid on earned income is twice the proportion paid on capital gains... part of this is an explicit support of #investment (which given low levels of investment in the UK, we can safely say is a failing policy) and partly because CGT is so structured to allow all sorts of game-playing & manipulation by rich holders of capital.

The solution (as the FT would argue) is partly tax simplification & partly a refocusing of tax altogether!

But, of course, what this demonstrates is to get on in world support #investment is required.... the only Q. is how ponies up the cash?

The OGEL #Energy #Law journal (ISSN 1875-418X, www.ogel.org) invites submissions for a Special issue focusing on "#International #Energy and #Investment #Law Implications of the US Inflation Reduction Act".

Article Guidelines available upon request via info@ogel.org

FT's discussion of possible futures for UK #taxes has now moved to #corporationtax.

Their preferred position is to retain the 'full expensing' for #investment (all costs of investment can be deducted from #tax), while removing allowances for interest payments on #debt.

The hope is this will shift firms' attention from loans to internally funded investment to help deal with the UK's #productivity problem.

It also plays to the FT's overall position on tax simplification!

Might make sense?

This week sees the final opening of the new Vaccine Development & Evaluation Centre at Porton Down.

For an investment of £65mn the Govt. hopes to be able to develop a #vaccine response to any #pathogen, such as a new wave of #Coronavirus, within 100 days; whatever we think about #Tories past efforts as disease control, this seems like a sensible & timely #investment.

But, its proximity to a defence facility (working on similar issues but for defence) will set the #socialmedia rumours flying!

Remembering that the UK has a weak #investment profile, another problem with the BoE's one-policy approach to #inflation during a #costsoflivingcrisis is that savers are pulling money out of their investment instruments to meet the costs of raised #mortgage costs.... so one more compounding aspect of the UK's #productivity problem - they really haven't got any answers have they!

The argument here on rent and technofeudalism is interesting.

Oddly, this is sort of what finance has already done. Investors, VCs, other owners of large amounts of capital loan it to companies (and governments?), and demand repayment with interest. While larger institutional investors may be playing a longer, more conservative game and accept lower rates of return, VC and more aggressive investors demand higher rates of return (in part because they’re gambling and often lose).

This demand for repayment with interest adds nitro fuel to the industrial (and financial) growth economy. And not because more things or more services are good or needed. Because more profit is demanded by financial rentiers as they exploit people and planet.

Following on from: 'The UK's water firms were privatised without any outstanding debts over thirty years ago.... now, the privatised #infrastructure (regional) #monopolies have around £62bn in debt, but are still failing to deliver an adequate service'...

It seems that in the next decade our #water bills will be rising by up to 40% to pay for the #infrastructure #investment that is required... again emphasising, that water companies' debt was funnelled into dividends not repairing the system

So we know the UK has a problem with #productivity caused by under-#investment; likewise we know all sorts of public & private services are being starved of investment....

Meanwhile #Germany is recording record levels of #ForeignDirctInvestment (FDI), and what do you know, the third highest source of that FDI is the UK... not least by firms looking to maintain a foothold in post-#Brexit #Europe...

Where's our investment gone?
Well looks like some of it is helping the German economy!

chart: US, Switzerland & UK drive record levels of FDI in Germany; Greenfield & expansion projects by country, 2022.

USA has around 270 investment projects; Switzerlans around 200 and the UK around 175.

China & Turkey have around 140 each, Netherlands 110, France 100, Austria 85, Sweden 50 & Japan 40

We have been told for generations that lowering taxes on the rich helps the economy, and that "increased entitlements" are a burden the taxpayer cannot afford.

These are lies. The truth, borne out by history is this:

Programs that help the poor, the working poor and those unable to work, actually benefit the overall economy and are not a net tax burden on the taxpayers. 1/2

many local buyers in New York prefer west-facing apartments, because the golden eyes at sunset are really charming. Coupled with the view of the Hudson River, the whole person is ecstatic and relaxed. This 3-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom property covers an area of 294 square meters, with views of Central Park and the beautiful sunset of the Hudson River. #property #NewYork #CentralPark #Manhattan #Investment #RealEstate #Apartment #LuxuryHouse #HighEnd

It can take many years (at least it did for me) & a bit of restraint to save up "f*ck you" money but it's always valuable to do so💰

It doesn't necessarily need to be used in that sense of the phrase, it can be used when the going gets too going or even say during budget cuts✨

"The paper’s data also showed a significant disparity between #public and #private #investment into AI #technology. In 2021, non-defence #US government agencies allocated $1.5bn to AI. The #EuropeanCommission planned to spend €1bn. Meanwhile, the private sector invested more than $340bn on AI in 2021."

So the #LabourParty wants (rightly) to do something about the #investment crisis in UK #industry & #manufacturing;

while investment growth has largely stagnated in the UK, across the channel it continues (investment in France has grown by around 25% since #brexit)

When you look at the chart below, what you can see is that fiddling with corporation taxes or even how investment returns are taxed (or allowances play out) is not the issue...

re-engaging with the #singlemarket is job No.1!

Chart: UK business investment growth has stalled; Real index, rebased Q.2/2010 - 100.

Trend shows investment would have been approaching 200 on rebased scale (i.e. would have doubles in 12 years), but real investment growth stalled in 2016 at 140, in 2020 dropped to less than 120, and last year only rose to around 140 (60 points, or 30% lower than the pre-Brexit trend)
