Foreign investment projects drop amid wider European slowdown
Britain hosted the second-highest number of foreign investment projects last year amid a decline in overseas capital flowing into Europe's larger economies, research on Thursday showed.
Some 853 foreign direct investment (FDI) projects started in the UK in 2024, according to researchers at EY, the consultancy, a decline of 13 per cent compared with the previous year.
France secured 1,025 FDI projects, making the world's seventh-largest economy Europe's leading destination for overseas investment for the sixth year running, although that figure was down by 14 per cent on an annual basis. Germany received the third-highest number of FDI initiatives at 608, a drop of 17 per cent year-on-year.
The total number of FDI projects that started in Europe last year declined by 5 per cent

What does the change to the winter fuel payment mean?
After months of speculation the government has announced that it will reinstate the winter fuel payment to most pensioners in England and Wales. Under the new rules, any pensioner with an income of up to £35,000 a year will be eligible for the full allowance, while anyone on more will have to pay back their share. The payment is worth £200 a year to households where both pensioners are aged under 80 years old, and £300 if there is a person aged 80 or over. A pensioner aged 85 who lives alone will get £300, as will a couple of the same age. The new system will mean these payments are made automatically to those receiving a state pension. There will be no need to claim the money. No. The threshold applies to individuals, not households. A couple who qualify for a £200-a-year payment will get £100 each. If one has an income of more than £35,000 a year and the other does not, the higher earner will have £100 clawed back while the other one is allowed to keep the money. In a couple where one person is aged 80, they will receive £200 and the other will receive £100. The person over 80 will repay £200 if their income is more than £35,000. This will create some quirks. A single pensioner, living alone, will repay the full £200 or £300 if their income is more than £35,000, while a couple with an income of £69,000 would keep all the money. Two households with the same incomes and one person aged over 80 could have to repay different sums depending on whether it is the older or younger person who receives more than £35,000. For most pensioners, money will be taken through the pensioner's tax code and applied to their income the next year. Those who already file a tax return for other reasons may find it is added to it, but it is not yet clear if that will be the case. The same is true when someone dies. The government says it will not make families do a return or pursue them for the winter fuel payment. However, if they have to do a return for someone who has died for other reasons, it is not clear if they will have to declare the payment. There is a potential for problems if someone retires part-way through a tax year and earns more than £35,000 because they are still getting their salary, then drops well below that the next year – they will be faced with repaying the payment when they are on a lower income. No. The new means-testing will take into account income only, not savings or the value of any property. A person with £1m in the bank would still qualify for the payment with an income less than £35,000. The Scottish government gives out a pension-age winter heating payment. Last winter this was restricted to only those people who qualified for one of a handful of benefits including pension credit. This will change next winter, and the payment will be given more widely. Northern Ireland has a winter fuel payment and seems likely to move in line with England and Wales.

FTSE 100 dips while markets watch for US-China talks progress
Stocks in London closed mixed on Monday amid a fresh burst of mid-and-small cap M&A (mergers and acquisitions) activity, while the wider market watched as US- China trade talks resumed. The FTSE 100 index fell 5.63 points, 0.1%, at 8,832.28. The FTSE 250 ended up 128.63 points, 0.6%, at 21,285.91, and the AIM All-Share climbed 7.01 points, 0.9%, at 763.89. In Paris, the Cac 40 fell 0.2%, while Frankfurt's Dax 40 ended 0.5% lower. The pound was quoted at 1.36 dollars late on Monday afternoon in London, higher compared to 1.35 at the close on Friday. The euro stood at 1.142 dollars, higher against 1.139 on Friday. On London's FTSE 250, Spectris leapt 64% after receiving a more than £3.7 billion cash and shares bid from private equity firm Advent International LP. Should a firm offer be made, 'the board has carefully considered the proposal together with its advisers and concluded that the proposal is at a value that the board would be minded to recommend unanimously to Spectris shareholders', said Spectris. Meanwhile, Alphawave IP soared 19% as it agreed to a 2.4 billion dollars takeover from US semiconductor firm Qualcomm. The cash deal values the London-listed high-speed connectivity solutions firm's shares at 2.48 dollars each, or around 183 pence. 'Qualcomm's acquisition of Alphawave represents a significant milestone for us and an opportunity for our business to join forces with a respected industry leader and drive value to our customers,' said Alphawave chief executive Officer Tony Pialis. Charles Hall at Peel Hunt noted there have been 30 bids for UK companies at more than £100 million market value year-to-date, with a total value of £25 billion. At the same time there has been just one initial public offer offer year-to-date of more than £100 million, he pointed out. 'Companies in the UK seem to be far more attractive to acquirers than investors. The root cause is the consistent outflow of capital from domestic markets. If we want the UK equity market to thrive, an urgent rethink is required to ensure that UK capital backs UK companies,' Mr Hall said. 'The scale of M&A and lack of IPOs is resulting in a material reduction in the number of UK listed growth companies. It is essential that action is taken to ensure the health of the ecosystem and enable companies to grow, scale and stay in the UK. We believe this can be done through reform of pension funds, ISAs, and stamp duty,' Mr Hall added. In New York, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 0.2%, the S&P 500 climbed 0.1% and the Nasdaq Composite sat 0.3% higher at the time of the closing bell in London. After a round of talks in Geneva last month, the US and China will sit down at the negotiating table in London on Monday to attempt to preserve a fragile truce on trade, despite simmering tensions. US treasury secretary Scott Bessent, commerce secretary Howard Lutnick and trade representative Jamieson Greer will lead the US delegation, President Donald Trump announced Friday. Chinese vice premier He Lifeng – who led Beijing's negotiating team in Geneva – will also lead the team in London, the foreign ministry announced at the weekend. On the FTSE 100, M&G rose 3.2% as UBS upgraded to 'buy', but WPP fell 2.8% after it said Mark Read will step down as chief executive officer at the end of 2025 after seven years leading the company. Mr Read has spent more than 30 years at the company and took on the role of CEO in September 2018, following the abrupt departure of founder Martin Sorrell. In London, shares in Cordel plunged 12% after it warned full-year revenue will be lower than forecast. The London-based company, which uses artificial intelligence to supply transport corridor analytics, expects to report revenue in the range of £4.7 million and £5.0 million for the financial year to June 30. It would represent growth of up to 12% from £4.4 million a year prior. But chief executive John Davis said it will be 'lower than forecast', despite the firm making 'excellent strategic progress' in the financial year. Broker Cavendish lowered its financial 2025 revenue forecast to £4.8 million from £6.2 million. Mr Davis said economic uncertainty, particularly in the US, has 'unfortunately led to protracted sales cycles and delayed revenue, which has impacted our normally strong second half revenue'. Elsewhere, Dunelm fell 3.9% after RBC Capital Markets downgraded to 'sector perform' from 'outperform'. 'We view Dunelm as a high quality business. It's cash generative, has executed well in recent years and expansion potential has stepped up. But we think this is now more reflected in its valuation,' the broker said in a research note. Meanwhile, Trustpilot slid 5.8% as Panmure Liberum slapped a 'sell' rating on the company. Analyst Sean Kealey thinks Trustpilot finds itself 'at the foothills of a complex multi-year' business transition. He argued that the current valuation assumes 'perfect execution' over a 'multi-decade time horizon despite near-term macro risks and medium-term business profile uncertainty.' The biggest risers on the FTSE 100 were Melrose Industries, up 16.80 pence at 484.60p, Spirax, up 190.00p at 5,940.00p, M&G, up 7.40p at 251.20p, JD Sports Fashion, up 2.04p at 82.60p, and Fresnillo, up 32.00p at 1,374.00p. The biggest fallers on the FTSE 100 were WPP, down 15.40p at 543.40p, Hiscox, down 33.00p at 1,318.00p, Aviva, down 11.80p at 615.00p, Marks & Spencer, down 6.90p at 359.80p and Haleon, down 7.40p at 397.80p.

Britain's top ten modern status symbols for the home from solar panels to underfloor heating, survey shows
HOMEOWNERS are shunning expensive eco-features like solar panels in favour of new kitchens and bathrooms, a report claims. The study of 2,000 property owners found more than half are prioritising cosmetic makeovers because they believe it adds more value and offers instant gratification. 6 6 Many would rather splash out on a new kitchen (48 per cent) or bathroom suite (39 per cent) than invest in insulation (19 per cent) or energy-efficient heating systems (31 per cent). And 43 per cent admit they opt for these flashy upgrades simply because they want something new to enjoy – with 16 per cent confessing they just love the thrill of a fresh home feature. While 53 per cent said energy-efficient improvements just don't give them the same buzz as a swanky new renovation. The research, commissioned by Skipton Building Society, part of the Skipton Group, coincides with the release of The Big Retrofit report, which follows the energy efficiency transformation of a previously fossil-fuel reliant home. The report, developed with Leeds Beckett University and the University of Leeds, reveals how the retrofit of a typical 1930s detached home – featuring triple glazing, solar panels and an air source heat pump – cut carbon emissions, improved comfort, and boosted the home's EPC rating from D to B. Phil Spencer, TV star, property expert and Move iQ founder, said: 'It's easy to get caught up in choosing statement tiles or bold paint colours, but the most valuable home improvements aren't always the most Instagrammable. 'Green upgrades not only save money in the long run, but they can also boost comfort, value and sustainability, all without spoiling the look of your home.' But it seems a new kind of 'keeping up with the Joneses' is sweeping through Britain's streets and cul-de-sacs – and this time, it's all about going green. More than a quarter (28 per cent) now say they know a neighbour who's made big low carbon technology or energy efficiency related changes to their home – and 53 per cent of these have been inspired to follow suit. As a result, 48 per cent have looked into getting solar panels, 24 per cent have explored upgrading their loft insulation – and 15 per cent would consider installing triple glazed windows. George Michael's £10m London mansion gets modern makeover after row with neighbours over buildings 'left to rot' For 38 per cent, it was hearing their neighbours had managed to cut their energy bills that got them interested. Another 36 per cent said seeing what was actually possible gave them a lightbulb moment, while 30 per cent felt more confident after seeing the results up close. Almost half (47 per cent) of all homeowners now reckon making eco improvements has become a modern-day status symbol, according to the research conducted by OnePoll. Charging an electric car on the drive is seen as one of the leading signs you've 'made it' (32 per cent) – followed by underfloor heating powered by renewables (28 per cent) and having a heat pump (25 per cent). Michaela Wright, head of group sustainability at Skipton Building Society added: 'This research suggests we may be seeing a shift from 'keeping up with the Joneses' to 'greening up with the Jones'. 'As more people see their neighbours investing in greener technologies, it naturally sparks curiosity and motivation to do the same. 'There's something powerful about seeing these changes up close – it makes the benefits feel more real and achievable. 'The idea of a modern status symbol is evolving, and now things like solar panels, heat pumps and electric cars are part of that. 6 6 6 'It's a positive sign that more energy efficient choices are becoming aspirational, not just practical. 'We understand that making energy-efficient home improvements might not be at the top of everyone's priority list. 'That's why we took on the journey ourselves – to help demystify the retrofit process through The Big Retrofit project. 'We've documented our experience and created a series of resources, to support others who are considering making similar improvements.'
