I’m sure they’ll welcome the news. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/record-breaking-international-investment-summit-secures-63-billion-and-nearly-38000-jobs-for-the-uk £63 billion. thats a lot of money isn’t it?

Funny that most of the business leaders - certainly the ones in Pharma that were across the airwaves yesterday were saying that the reduced size of the market in the UK continues to be the issue - and a bit of an elephant in the room. But that they obviously will try and work with the UK government. Also, in terms of being fair and balanced - no doubt a lot of these investment annoucements were held back to co-inside with this forum, it'd be naive to think otherwise. However, the real success is the fact there is now the stability - not a focus on who will be the next PM in a number of months or dealing with a government trying to manage its own party from shooting itself in the collective foot.

Spider Posted October 15, 2024 Posted October 15, 2024 (edited) Hang on a minute Do we need to check if Labour can claim credit here? They haven’t done a budget yet. Has anybody mentioned this to the companies stumping up all this investment? Don’t they realise what a crackpot government they’re dealing with? it’s a minefield.

Us younger ones need to experience the horror of a Labour government ourselves so that we become forever blue in our dotage. Obviously apart from the last Labour government which was comparatively very good with anything else I've experienced in my lifetime. Or something? Quote

Be interested to know as I see/hear other reasons why the UK is becoming a much less desirable place to invest in for the pharma industry Quote

Cheers. A lot of companies invested in Ireland quite a few years ago for tax reasons. Can’t imagine any investing there for market reasons currently as their regulatory is years behind the UK. Product launches are a good 2 years behind the UK in general Market is definitely smaller in the UK these days but there’s multiple factors. Be interesting (for me at least) to see how the new government approach the industry. Encouraging noises so far but a lack of knowledge/experience from being out of power for so long so not easy to deal with them apparently. Quote
