V good @FT @timleunig piece, with hard truths about UK economy & what needs to be done about it, relevant to both parties
This para is striking - small firms are lionised, but it's big firms that drive productivity & R&D, & we don't have enough of them

There is huge potential to improve government by securely linking and analysing data held across many different parts of it. We need robust political leadership to make this the rule, not the exception, writes our Chair Sir Robert Chote⬇️

Great to be quoted by @TheEconomist in a piece that highlights @NovaSBE ability to attract international students/faculty, while fostering Portugal's progress in attracting and integrating skilled talent: "Portugal is something of a model in this respect." economist.com/briefing/2024/…

The long term sources of growth are ideas, R&D, technology and its adoption argues @danielsusskind (which implies a rather central role for @SciTechgovuk)

Another great hope of the UK's tech industry falls into foreign ownership. Not sure what to think of this - clearly Graphcore needs backers with deep pockets to realise its potential, but what stops UK capital markets playing that role?
Ownership = control, and that matters.
Exciting news: Graphcore joins @SoftBank_Group to build next generation of AI compute. graphcore.ai/posts/graphcore…

Over the last decade we’ve seen the rise of university policy institutes. (I’m involved with @policyatkings @BennettInst @UCLPolicyLab personally). It’s great to see @CAPE_acuk has done some lesson learning on what works

The latest OECD Product Market Reform indicators (PMRs) are out.
They are a very useful tool to identify and prioritize reforms and barriers to business dynamism.
In the graph, you can see how countries are doing regarding these indicators. The overall PMR can be read as how business friendly an economy is with regards to competition and product markets. The highest values correspond to higher barriers to competition and imply less competitive product markets.
You can find more on the latest PMRs and read a full set of country notes here: oecd.org/en/topics/product-m…
Check how your country is doing.
