UK Losing Wealthy to Middle East, Amanda Staveley Warns
Amanda Staveley, the former director of Premier League football club Newcastle United, says the UK needs to change policies to retain wealthy individuals. Mayfair, one of London's most expensive areas, is "concerningly quiet," she said. "I'd like to see the government do more around attracting people back," she said of the UK. "We need to be as competitive as possible with our European counterparts as you will continue to see an exodus to the Middle East." Staveley, the CEO of PCP Capital Partners, made the comments during an interview with Francine Lacqua at the Qatar Economic Forum 2025, powered by Bloomberg. (Source: Bloomberg)
