What it examines

The government favours coordination between public finance institutions over merging them. It describes the Treasury-led Public Investment Roundtable and promises a policy to help firms reach the appropriate institution. Its response defends the different roles of BBB and NWF and explains why their capacity limits cannot be compared directly with UKEF’s.

Why it matters

A direct account of how government allocates capacity and coordinates the institutions it backs. Publication does not establish new funding or show that all promised referral arrangements are operating.
