Strengthening partnerships between business and government to enhance the UK’s resilience
The CBI has launched a new report, 'Strengthening the UK’s economic resilience', focused on how we can build a more effective partnership between business and government to increase the UK’s resilience.
Through globalisation, the UK’s interconnectedness with the global economy has brought significant benefits for businesses and consumers alike. Recent events, however, have demonstrated that this interconnectivity can have a profound impact on the UK economy when negative unforeseen shocks occur, and that resilience is a vital precursor to sustainable growth. A review of the UK’s resilience is expected to be published by the Cabinet Office in 2025 following this year’s Covid inquiry report, which highlighted broader lessons. The UK’s national resilience therefore embodies a burning platform for government and business and provides an imperative for both to work in lockstep to ensure resilience sits alongside the UK’s growth mission and new Industrial Strategy.
