Submit Evidence (by 12 Sep 2025)


The Government has made economic growth its “number one mission”, aiming to secure the highest sustained growth in the G7.  Yet the UK has consistently lagged behind its peers and in 2025, the IMF projected UK growth at just 1.2%—below most major competitors. 

Low investment is at the core of this challenge. The UK has recorded the lowest share of investment in GDP among G7 countries in 24 of the last 30 years and ranked in the bottom ten of OECD countries for overall investment intensity. Closing this investment gap is now essential to delivering the productivity, innovation, and dynamism the British economy needs.
