CBI's new report on the EU
The CBI has launched a major new report, Choosing our Future: Why the European Union is good for business, but how it should be better. Containing the views of business leaders from all sectors and sizes around the country, it sets out both what EU membership means to them, but also how it should reform.

The report outlines how the EU has opened up huge opportunities for firms enabling them to grow and create more jobs across the UK. Business benefits from access to a single market of 500 million people; a single set of rules to comply with; access to the skills needed to grow; and open global markets through EU trade deals.
The CBI has also set out an ambitious reform agenda and has been vocal, amongst our European counterparts, in making the case for a more outward-looking, competitive and balanced EU. It must improve by regulating less and better; extending the single market; protecting the interests of non-Eurozone countries; and doing even more to open up global markets.

Slight recovery of output and orders falls short of expectations in Q4 - confidence concerns mount in 2024
22 February 2024
Performance in the UK's printing and printed packaging industry did improve in Q4, as far as output and orders are concerned. However, it didn't come close to what would historically be considered the seasonal norm, nor quite match the subdued expectations for Q4.
