The CMA has today published its Provisional Findings in relation to its redetermination of the PR19 price controls for Anglian; Bristol; Northumbrian; and Yorkshire Water.  The provisional decisions imply a significant increase in allowed revenues for the companies and represent a landmark in regulatory appeals.  Economic Insight is the lead advisor to Yorkshire Water and has also supported the other three appellants.

We would like to thank AZB & Partners for inviting our colleagues Penelope Banks and Sarah Barker to present to their team last Friday. In the session, we introduced basic economic concepts, including monetary and fiscal policy, and had an engaging discussion about these in the context of the Indian economy. We would particularly like to thank Bahram Vakil, Rajendra Barot and Bhavi Sanghvi for their interesting insights, as well as Ishani Dash for organising the session.

We are delighted to welcome Thomas Elder to Economic Insight. Prior to joining us, Tom completed his BSc in Economics at the University of Warwick, his degree had a particular focus on microeconomics and industrial strategy.  He gained a wide range of internship experience, including at the Bank of England and in equity research.
