New report looks at the UK’s newest public finance bodies, £77bn in combined capacity, which exhibit strong foundations but shared limitations, including that none can raise capital independently. We detail what needs to change at the institutional design level, & for the ecosystem as a whole.

In the old economics, doing good is a correction for a market failure. In an economics of the common good, it is an objective we design and work on together in every contract and relationship from the start. The Common Good Economy is out in Germany today.

Next week I'll be at Labour Party Conference in Liverpool to share our work on green industrial strategy and public finance, including our new report on the UK's public finance ecosystem. Liverpool | 28–29 September | Schedule of public engagements below.
