The UK public equity markets are encountering significant challenges, marked by a reduction in domestic capital, a decline in new listings, and the influence of private equity removing companies from public markets. The CBI's report, Revitalising UK Public Markets, provides a comprehensive roadmap to strengthen the London Stock Exchange's global competitiveness. Recommendations aim to enhance the attractiveness of the UK for capital raising and support for investment growth and long-term resilience. Reform pillars include creating a new narrative for capital markets, analytical reforms in listings, and enhancing engagement with investors.
Public equity markets are currently undergoing significant structural changes globally due to the rise of private capital, the growth of passive investing, and the dominance of US markets.
The UK's public equity market is at a crucial juncture, with domestic capital shifting away from UK equities and new listings slowing, impacting the growth of the London Stock Exchange.
The report outlines recommendations aimed at making the UK more attractive for companies seeking to raise capital while ensuring that investors can effectively participate in wealth creation.
The CBI's reforms emphasize the necessity of a timely response to ensure public markets support investment, growth, and long-term economic resilience, promoting the full potential of the LSE.
