The Institute for Public Policy Research found the UK consistently at the bottom of the G7 for investment, with private investment being lower than any other G7 country for the third consecutive year.
The lack of spending on technology and innovation by UK companies over the past 30 years, along with below-average public sector investment, has contributed to the UK's underperformance in investment.
The UK ranked 28th out of 31 OECD countries for business investment, with Slovenia, Latvia, and Hungary surpassing it in attracting higher levels of investment relative to their economies.
Increased investment in the UK, as recommended by the National Infrastructure Commission, could lead to significant benefits such as higher economic productivity, improved quality of life, and savings for households.
