answer text <p>We have made no specific assessment of this release.</p><p>In the 2018 Budget, the Government announced measures that are expected to affect business investment. These include the introduction of a permanent structures and buildings allowance and a temporary increase in the annual investment allowance for 2 years. These measures, in conjunction with the reduction in the writing down allowance for the special rate pool of assets are expected to increase the level of business investment by 0.4 per cent by the end of the forecast period.</p><p>In its October 2018 forecast, the independent OBR (Office for Budget Responsibility) expect business investment to increase by 8% between 2016 Q4 and 2021Q1 and for business investment to rise as a share of GDP.</p> more like this
