National Wealth Fund

Inquiry

In October 2024, the Treasury announced the creation of a new National Wealth Fund with the aim of mobilising investment and unlocking growth opportunities across the UK. On the 19 March, the Chancellor issued the Statement of Strategic Priorities to the National Wealth Fund, setting its strategic direction and priorities for this Parliament. In this inquiry, the Treasury Committee will look at how best the National Wealth Fund can achieve its aims and how likely it is to achieve those aims.
