<p>On 8 March, HM Treasury published the Rose Review into Female Entrepreneurship
which explored the barriers women face when starting a business and what can be done
to overcome them.</p><p>In response to Alison Rose’s findings, the government is setting
out an ambition to increase the number of female entrepreneurs by half by 2030. This
will require an additional 600,000 female entrepreneurs, and concerted efforts from
both the private and public sector.</p><p>We are establishing a new Investing in Women
Code, which will report annually, and see financial institutions sign up, track how
they are currently doing and take steps to improve how they allocate funding to female
entrepreneurs.</p><p>I will also sponsor an industry-led taskforce alongside Treasury
Ministers that will drive forward work to encourage greater investment in female entrepreneurs
by all types of finance provider.</p>
