New Capital Consensus is a coalition of independent, non-partisan think-tanks and academic organisations concerned with system change.
Together, we explore how the UK investment system contributes to poor productivity, inequality and low levels of investment, and promote reform.
Understand how the system operates holistically and as a complex adaptive system
Recognise the source of private investment resides predominantly in consumers retirement savings
Develop a clear map of the system and an accurate quantification of and view on system stocks and flows
Identify the policy levers capable of redirecting system flows toward more productive uses that benefit savers
The UK’s Growth Problem needs a Systems Solution. The new government’s desire to place UK sustainable economic growth at the top of its agenda, and to view UK savings and investment as a key driver of this growth, is very welcome. This recognises the investment system’s central role in driving sustainable growth and higher-quality retirements, and in improving intergenerational fairness.
We focus not only on those beneficial policy changes that can be affected within the current system but - recognising that current market structures have developed in an anachronistic way - also those that require changes to current market structures, approaches and beliefs.
