This summit illustrates recognition that something needs to be done. But if it’s an “education piece" on merits of public versus private equity/foreign listing then that suggests naivety - and outsized influence of LSEG that has pushed this line. news.sky.com/story/hunt-cal…

UK consumer confidence up to joint highest in 29 months in April (-19; -21 prev.). Driven by improved outlook for personal finances. Appetite for big ticket purchases is lagging the rebound in real incomes - consistent with what companies exposed to the UK consumer are reporting.
Excited for #RECLive24! 🎉 Don't miss our panel discussion on "The 2024 Business Context" where industry titans like @Frencheconomics, Lennie Higgs, Tiger Tyagarajan, and @RECNeil will tackle pressing questions: 1️⃣ Is growth on the cards? 2️⃣ When will inflation level out? 3️⃣…
UK composite PMI still top of the tree in April (ahead of US data at lunchtime), and most improved on 2023 average. No guarantee of read across to absolute growth rates where US/China still clear upside outliers. But near term momentum still there in UK data.

A good thread.

@Frencheconomics This is on the money. Unless there's change, great British companies are going to continue to be bought by overseas predators picking up bargains. We need someone with the wisdom, experience and guts of Anthony Bolton to lead a UK sovereign wealth fund now- not in a year.
@Gerald_Ashley @Frencheconomics @Cebr_uk That's very generous. But I've had 50 years of opining on things. That's enough and it would be surprising if a 51st year would have made much difference. Time to pay attention to my @Cebr_uk colleagues, to @ShankerASingham and the @TheGrowthComm and others.
Some excellent points on the undervaluation of UK #equities... 🤓

@Frencheconomics I agree with this. It's possibly well meaning but the excessive burden of regulation on lots of irrelevant matters makes listing in the UK incredibly off putting. Just ask anyone sitting on a FTSE company board how they spend their time
@Frencheconomics Simon, as you know the Treasury hates spending money so I think we need to give them no cost solutions. Ergo persuade the government to reform Solvency 2 so that the insurance companies can once again invest in equities and persuade the LSE to mount a major promotional campaign
Great summary of the situation IMHO

🇩🇪A third monthly increase in the Ifo index suggests the worst may be over for the German economy, says @carstenbrzeski think.ing.com/snaps/german-i…
@Frencheconomics Marvellous thread Simon. You have been on top of this issue from day one Deeply ironic that in this year of AI, the UK loses its biggest AI stock
Most of you will have worked out that I no longer ordinarily tweet. But Monday's Forecasting Eye from @Cebr_uk is the first ever study of the full economic cost of potholes. As it involves both economics and cars I decided that my fingerprints would show so it's in my own name!
@Frencheconomics A great thread. Thank you for that. On the retail side I think a BritISA would be a positive thing, with ideally a lot more than a £5000 limit. I'd also like to see stamp duty removed for at least the AIM and FTSE250 stocks.
@Frencheconomics A market with continuous outflows will always hold assets at a discount to what they are worth because, quite simply, there are more sellers than buyers. Put the market on the same playing field as other markets and those outflows will reverse and values will rise.
@Frencheconomics Retail money is also departing UK equities, financial advisers outsource to low cost passive funds with global benchmarks.
Another day, another bid for a UK listed business. Unless, these valuation anomalies are addressed by introducing a UK sovereign wealth fund, overseas predators will continue to pick off bargains. It's like a queue of planes on a runway awaiting takeoff. reuters.com/markets/deals/…
Gradual recovery in UK #consumer confidence resumed in April, but the marked improvement in sentiment on the outlook for personal finances (generally the most important bit) is yet to translate into willingness to make major purchases... 👇
