The chancellor’s pet PuFins have an important role – but they need more scrutiny | Nils Pratley

The UK government is increasing funding for two state-funded investment bodies, the National Wealth Fund and the British Business Bank. The National Wealth Fund will receive an additional £15.4 billion over the next five years, on top of its existing £27.8 billion. This move is significant for the economy, as these institutions play a crucial role in the government's growth strategy.
