ICYMI, PDI's latest newsletter explored three of the overlooked contributors to inequality and how we might address them, including (1) the structure of compensation, (2) market concentration, and (3) interpretations of risk, return, and value. Addressing these issues can lead to a more regenerative and inclusive economy. As PDI Executive Director, Delilah Rothenberg, wrote in the intro: "The time is now for moving from a financialized economy to one that supports real people everywhere, across both rural and urban communities, developed and developing countries, businesses of all sizes, and which produces products and services that sustain healthy, thriving societies." For PDI, investigating overlooked root causes of both system-level risks and inequality has led us to focus on supporting investors to co-create reforms relating to investment governance, financial analysis, investment structures, and market structure. Upstream changes with these actors at the top of the capital markets value chain regarding interpretations of risk, return, and value can lead to more regenerative approaches to asset allocation and investment structures that share more wealth and influence with workers and communities.

If you don’t follow Ben Odams you should. His well considered dissection of policy and strategy is always thought provoking and enlightening.
I know it might seem repetitive to keep talking about Industrial Strategy, but while I have your attention, I want to share some thoughts on how it could be truly effective. One thing that stands out is how the Green Paper clearly defines the problems and solutions it aims to address. This isn’t an economic strategy—it’s a framework focused on growing sectors where the UK either already has strengths or will need them for resilience and security in the future. Is the strategy perfect? No. The lack of clarity on sub-sectors and specific priorities will inevitably leave room for lobbying and special interests. But, if data-driven decisions are made (assuming the Ministry can follow through), this strategy could set the stage for a more coherent approach to economic policy in the UK. What excites me most is that this Industrial Strategy aligns national priorities with regional and local growth. The strategy rightly acknowledges the need to improve the business environment, especially low-tech levels and the slow diffusion of best practices—both of which contribute to the UK’s ongoing productivity challenges. Mayoral Combined Authorities (MCAs) now have the opportunity to refocus their place-based economies to develop the business environment. MCAs already hold key levers around skills, housing, transport, and business support—fundamentals for creating a solid business environment. Combined with the national strategy, these devolved powers present a massive opportunity for transformational change. Instead of debating the sectors that have been selected as national priorities, we should recognise that constrained resources require prioritisation. This means non-priority sectors must be developed locally, especially those critical at a regional level. And this is where effective regional planning and local growth plans come in. Aligning regional growth with national priorities is vital. But even more important is creating the right business environment—skills development, transport, housing, and better energy and data connectivity—to foster innovation and investment. The strategy makes much more sense if we view the Green Paper not as a debate over sector selection but as a framework that defines roles and responsibilities. #IndustrialStrategy #UKEconomy #Devolution #EconomicGrowth #LocalDevelopment #BusinessEnvironment
