The CBI’s roadmap to restore confidence in the UK’s public markets and ensure they continue to support the economy
A vibrant, deep, and efficient market for publicly listed equities is a critical component of the UK's capital markets, and of the wider economy. Yet in recent years, they've faced a slow but steady decline. Fewer companies are choosing to list in London, investment has shifted abroad, and important parts of the capital ecosystem have moved away from domestic equities. If left unaddressed, there is a risk of UK public markets drifting into irrelevance, with fewer domestic champions and lower investor interest, leading to an inability to support homegrown high-growth companies.
The CBI's new report sets out a clear roadmap to restore confidence in the UK's public markets and ensure they continue to support growth, innovation, and opportunity across the economy.
