据《金融时报》周五援引财政部消息报道,英国将在下周的预算案中向国家商业贷款机构和基础设施银行追加 204 亿英镑(约 273 亿美元)资本。
Britain will provide £20.4 billion ($27.3 billion) of additional capital to the state's business lender and infrastructure bank in next week's budget, the Financial Times reported on Friday, citing the Treasury.
报道称,财政部将在约五年内向国家财富基金追加拨款 154 亿英镑(约 206 亿美元),向英国商业银行追加拨款 50 亿英镑(约 70 亿美元)。
The Treasury will allocate £15.4 billion ($20.6 billion) more to the National Wealth Fund and £5 billion ($7 billion) more to the British Business Bank over roughly half a decade, according to the report.
财政部发言人对《金融时报》表示:“这笔额外资本将帮助更多英国企业释放潜力,同时为创造优质就业、推动全国持久增长的产业、基础设施和地区注入投资。”财政部在正常办公时间之外未立即回应路透社的置评请求。
"This additional capital will help more British businesses fulfil their potential, while getting investment behind the industries, infrastructure and places that create good jobs and drive lasting growth across the country," a Treasury spokesperson told the FT. The Treasury did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment outside regular business hours.
《金融时报》援引财政部消息称,该资金预计将帮助到 2035 年在人工智能、国防和绿色能源等领域支持约 10 万个就业岗位。这些措施预计将在财政大臣约翰·希利周三的预算案中宣布。
The Treasury said the funding would help support around 100,000 jobs by 2035 in sectors including artificial intelligence, defence and green energy, the FT said. The measures are expected to be announced in finance minister John Healey's budget on Wednesday.
