In the Financial Times and City AM, BCG’s Raoul Ruparel and Tim Figures emphasize that the recent International Investment Summit served as a key test of global investors’ commitment to UK growth. They highlight the UK’s strengths, such as its science base and financial services, while pointing to challenges like high energy costs, low infrastructure investment, and post-Brexit regulatory uncertainty. Ruparel notes that while executives likely “do not care all that much about the panels and agenda,” they do expect to hear “more than platitudes about the government’s plans” during such events.
