In this Insights In Focus episode, we discuss the obstacles and incentives to SME investment.
In recent years, a string of crises and ongoing economic uncertainty has dampened investment across the board. Office for National Statistics figures show that business investment remains lower than pre-pandemic levels and fell 0.2% in Q4 2022.
