A flavour of major economic opportunities and risks highlighted in the PhaseZero United Kingdom report:
  • In January 2010 US food giant, Kraft, took over chocolate manufacturer Cadbury in a deal worth $18.9 billion. The take-over ended months of negotiations, with an initial bid of $16.2 billion rejected by Cadbury. The deal was pushed through despite protests by Cadbury employees who feared losing their jobs after the take-over.
  • The government has announced plans in 2009 to invest $1.7 billion into the first big electrification of the rail network for 20 years. The plans will see the first electric main line trains running in Wales, aimed to improve passenger journeys, cut carbon emissions and boost the economy.
  • The government in June 2010 announced it would raise value added tax (VAT) from 17.5 percent to 20.0 percent in January 2011. The chancellor revealed that the government is to cut the budget by $17.0 billion a year from benefits and welfare payments. The VAT rise will raise $20.0 billion a year.
  • The UK pharmaceutical market is set to experience moderate growth over the coming years, tempered slightly by the effects of the economic recession. In 2010, the National Health Service (NHS) budget is $157.7 billion, but this could fall by 2.5 to 3.0 percent per annum from 2011/12. The NHS and the Department of Health will be required to make savings of $6.81 billion by 2012/13.
