The Chancellor has outlined his plans to boost private sector productivity and long-term economic growth with a package of measures under the \u2018four Es\u2019 of economic growth: Employment, Enterprise, Education, and Everywhere.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government has introduced several fiscal measures to increase productivity. For example, we have introduced full expensing \u2013 giving the UK the most generous capital allowances regime in the OECD on a Net Present Value basis to increase business investment and boost labour productivity. We increased the R&D Expenditure Credit relief rate to 20% \u2013 the joint highest uncapped headline rate of R&D tax relief in the G7 for large companies.<\/p>

<\/p>

We are supporting our world leading green industries. For example, up to £20bn of funding has been provided for Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage, and we are working with investors through our Automotive Transformation Fund to build a globally competitive electric vehicle supply chain in the UK. Furthermore, the Investment Zones programme will catalyse 12 high potential knowledge-intensive growth clusters across the UK.<\/p>

<\/p>

We are also ensuring our labour market is more productive through our investment in skills and the Chief Secretary is currently leading a programme across government to identify the most ambitious ways to improve productivity in the public sector.<\/p>
