Type: IFS Briefing Notes Authors: Nick Bloom and Steve Bond
Press release: UK investment: high, low, rising, falling? The Chancellor of the Exchequer has claimed recently that 'business investment ... as a share of our economy' is 'over 14 per cent, higher than at any time in forty years' (Budget Speech, 7 March 2001).

This note examines the evidential basis for these claims, and the broader picture on investment in the UK in recent years. Search |
