Recommendation 52
52
The UK economy needs large quantities of trusted investment.
Conclusion
The UK economy needs large quantities of trusted investment. With the UK’s growing capital requirements, the Government needs to strike the right balance between facilitating the flow of capital and blocking dangerous acquisitions. The Government is right to recognise that components of the UK’s investment screening regime have become too burdensome. It 102 should also, however, go further and consider ways in which this tool can be modernised to encourage investment from trusted sources into critical sectors of the UK economy. (Conclusion, Paragraph 176)
