UK support rise sparks concerns
The total government support in Britain increased to over 114 billion pounds sterling during March 2026, more than doubling compared to the previous year. The majority of this support was allocated to energy projects, including the development of wind farms and nuclear energy. This rise has raised concerns about the weakened British oversight system for government aid following its exit from the European Union, as support can now be provided without prior approval. This has sparked European worries regarding competitive balance and the proper use of public funds. Since the new system was implemented in 2023, support figures have risen significantly, with few appeals filed (only eight), most of which were rejected. There are warnings about the lack of oversight and the inadequate guidance from the UK Competition and Markets Authority. Conversely, the government affirms that the system is effective and allows for a quicker response to economic conditions, though debates continue over its efficiency and its potential to prevent excessive market intervention.
