STATEMENT: UKSIF response to Chancellor Rachel Reeves’s Spring Statement

Commenting on Chancellor Rachel Reeves’s Spring Statement, UKSIF CEO James Alexander said:

“The chancellor is right to recognise that rising energy prices risk fuelling inflation in her Spring Statement.

“Our dependency on imported fossil fuels has previously left households and businesses exposed to spiralling bills tied to the international energy markets.

“Investment in clean energy infrastructure won’t just help to insulate the UK from economic shocks but has the power to drive growth and create jobs throughout the country.

“That’s why the government must continue to ensure that the right policy conditions are in place so that the UK remains a leading destination for green finance.”
