National Wealth Fund Taskforce
The National Wealth Fund, with its proposed £7.3bn of public capital, presents an opportunity to design a first of kind public-private partnership, that deploys catalytic capital to crowd private investment into priority net zero sectors.
The GFI is providing advice to the Labour Party on how to structure and implement its commitment to create a National Wealth Fund. Dr Rhian-Mari Thomas OBE, CEO of the GFI, is the chair of an independent taskforce that includes the CEOs of some of the UK’s leading financial institutions.
