      Great news and frankly long overdue that we began looking seriously at investing in UK infrastructure. After 15 years of rot and decline at the hands of the tories it feels good to see Britain finally building things again.

      Top work by Reeves overseeing all this. Doing what none of the lightweight tory chancellors could do.

      If all the Shares that were issued have already been bought what benefit is it to a company that it’s shares are traded between shareholders.

      Seems like it is just an ongoing cost to service the dividends.

      I must be missing something obvious.

      The key bit here is the mention of private markets – the public markets like AIM and the other London Stock Exchange markets are different. Private markets are generally not available directly to retail investors. This is the new bit, as I understand it. It means that stuff that doesn’t end up on the public markets can now seek investment from pension funds and insurers. Not entirely sure what kind of thing that is in practice, though.

    5. AAAAAAAAA that doesn’t sound good at all. Yes it could be used for great growth it also means one man’s fuck up will effect millions more people….

    6. This just sounds like PFI but we’re also just fucking ourselves. I have always felt private pensions were just the elites way of getting the tax payer to prop up the stock market and extract wealth by proxy

    7. I hope the returns are good, this is a massive gamble to use parts of our pension pots to be forced into this. Hope it comes off

      This is yet more „Treasury Brain“ where everything is about money.

      Whenever the government interacts with the housing market it’s to offer more money to buyers not realising that houses are sold at auction and so giving everyone more money pushes prices up (or maybe they do realise that and that’s exactly why they do it).

      There are biotech companies started in the UK which had to move to the US because they can’t get lab space at literally any price.

      >The group will work with the Office for Investment to drive growth and create jobs, suggesting that even a small shift towards investing in UK infrastructure would unlock billions.

      It’s the same here, the problem for infra, business development and housing isn’t money, there’s tonnes of money, the problem is that almost all construction is illegal almost everywhere.

      You just aren’t allowed to build anything useful. So how is having more money going to help?

      Electricty costs 4x in the UK what it does in the US or China so how can you possibly build an AI startup and compete in that race? You’d just get killed on costs.

      We’ll have to see what their planning reform bill amounts to, so far it looks much too timid. If they can actually unblock things then maybe there is a chance.

      However the „financialisaton of everything“ is a weakness not a strength.
