Macroeconomic trends & policy

Many of the UK productivity issues reflect economy-wide failures. From a private finance viewpoint, large financing gap for business seems to have emerged as banking restrictions on lending lead to shortfalls in productive investment. From a fiscal viewpoint, public investment in productivity-enhancing infrastructure may be limited by the fiscal regime and accounting frameworks used by the Treasury.
