英国商业大臣彼得·凯尔（Peter Kyle）向主要资产管理人和养老金基金发出最后通牒，要求其必须增加对英国本土的投资，否则政府将采取法律强制措施 [1]。尽管财政大臣蕾切尔·里夫斯此前已与 17 家最大的英国养老金基金签署自愿投资协议，并承诺释放高达 500 亿英镑的资金用于投资 [1]，但鉴于实际到位资金不足且相关立法进程受阻，凯尔表达了强烈不满并表示将不得不使用强制权力 [1]。
针对这一威胁，彼得·凯尔表示：“我认为在任何情况下实施强制性规定都不是理想的选择，但如果我迫不得已，我会这样做，因为我急于求成。”[1] 根据协议条款，这些养老金基金释放的资金中至少有一半必须用于购买英国资产 [1]。政府目前保留的强制投资权力设定了明确的时间表：该权力在启用前不得早于 2028 年使用；若截至 2032 年前仍未使用该权力，其效力将自动消失；一旦启动过该机制，则有效期可延长至 2035 年 [1]。
British Business Secretary Peter Kyle has warned major asset managers and pension funds that they must increase investment in the UK domestic market or face government intervention. [1] Although Chancellor Rachel Reeves previously agreed with 17 of the largest UK pension funds on voluntary agreements to release up to £50 billion for investment, Kyle expressed strong dissatisfaction due to insufficient actual investment and legislative delays. [1] He stated that while mandation is not ideal in any circumstances, he will use it if necessary because "I'm in a rush". [1] Under the current framework, at least half of the funds must be used on UK assets. [1] The government retains powers to force investment but these cannot be activated before 2028. [1] If unused by 2032, this power will expire; however, if exercised, it would extend until 2035. [1]
