UK Treasury reduces discount rate to increase infrastructure funding
The British Treasury has lowered the discount rate used to evaluate the benefits of public infrastructure projects from 3.5% to 3%, aiming to boost long-term investments in infrastructure across the country. This change allows for a narrower gap between costs and benefits and highlights the value of projects that take years to realize their payoff, making them more attractive to investors and encouraging increased public spending on major projects. The government will announce details of the plan with the October 28 budget, and Treasury Secretary John Helli is expected to present his strategy in an upcoming speech.
