A transatlantic trade group, BritishAmerican Business (BAB), cautions that the UK’s rising tax and regulatory pressures could permanently undermine its appeal to US investors. Their latest annual survey—conducted with Bain & Co—reveals a sharp drop in US corporate confidence in the UK from 7.8 in 2021 to 6.3 in 2025. Meanwhile, overall confidence in the US–UK corridor has declined to 6.6 out of 10, prompting calls for more investor-friendly policies.
