London's potential is huge - but Labour must do more to unlock it
"To unlock London’s next phase of growth, the government must address the cost and complexity of doing business in the capital."
In an opinion article for The Standard, LCCI's CEO, Karim Fatehi OBE, discusses the fragility of London's business confidence and the policy decisions needed to restore productivity and growth in the capital.
Reflecting on the release of LCCI's Quarterly Economic Survey, the article highlights the role of recent policy decisions in creating pessimism among London's business community, noting the uncertainty stemming from a burdensome Employment Rights Act and a costly Autumn Budget.
London's resilience remains striking, even in the face of global and national uncertainty, but for the capital to realise its unique growth potential it needs a government that matches its ambition and backs business.
