Brexit is no longer the biggest concern of big businesses in the UK, who now believe that weak growth is the biggest threat facing UK corporations.

A survey conducted by Deloitte of 106 CFOs from some of the UK's biggest firms showed that the Brexit transition deal that was reached last month had boosted optimism for UK business. 

Rating risk on a scale of zero to 100, CFOs ranked weak growth as the most pressing concern with a score of 57, while the effects of Brexit came in just below at 56.

Deloitte surveyed the CFOs between 7 to 21 March, with around a fifth of respondents answering after the deal was announced on 19 March. 

The company found that over a quarter (27 per cent) of CFOs who answered the survey after the deal was struck were more confident about the future than they were three months ago. 

In comparison, only 18 per cent who answered the survey before the deal was announced reported being more optimistic than three months ago. 

The Brexit deal also strengthened corporate appetite for risk, as only 12 per cent of CFOs thought it was a good time to take on risk before the deal, compared with 23 per cent afterwards. 

Uncertainty amongst businesses hit a two-year low, with 31 per cent saying there was a high or very high level of financial and economic uncertainty facing their business, down from 38 per cent the previous quarter. 

Ian Stewart, chief economist at Deloitte, said:



The Brexit transition deal seems to have had a positive effect on the corporate mood with a clear uptick in optimism and risk appetite between those responding to our survey before and after the news from Brussels.

Business confidence has edged up and is running not far off its long term averages. CFOs’ have shrugged off weakness and volatility in equity markets with perceptions of uncertainty dropping to the lowest levels since spring of 2016, before the EU referendum.



David Sproul, senior partner and chief executive of Deloitte North West Europe, explained that though Brexit remained a major issue for UK CFOs, concerns were slowly easing. 

"Brexit remains a major concern for UK CFOs, though one which, in the wake of the announcement of the transition deal, is easing," he added. 

"Concerns about the dampening effect on corporate spending plans remain, but they have softened. Importantly, for the first time in two years, Brexit is not the biggest risk CFOs say they face. Weak UK demand is cited as the top concern, though there is likely to be a relationship between the two.

"The effect of the transition announcement on this quarter’s survey results underscores the sensitivity of sentiment to developments in the Brexit negotiations," Sproul continued. 

"The moment of truth on Brexit is approaching. The UK government hopes to strike a deal with the EU and have it endorsed by Parliament this year. Whether it succeeds in doing so seems likely to be a major driver of business confidence through the rest of this year." Reported by City A.M. 38 minutes ago.

The band have had their equipment stolen...

*Bloody Knees* have asked for help after thieves stole all their gear from their van.

The band were laid up in Mile End, East London, when unknown assailants broke into their van and stolen their equipment.

Pedals, leads, instruments... the thieves ultimately stole around £10,000 worth of gear just as Bloody Knees were set to continue a lengthy European tour.

Writing on social media Bloody Knees explained:

"We are completely shocked and deeply saddened to say that on Friday night our tour van was broken into in Mile End, London, England."

"They stole absolutely everything we own and it's taken us years to assemble. Not only that but we're half way through our first tour of Europe and don't have the money to replace it."



On Friday night our van was broken into and we had all of or gear stolen.
We’re utterly devastated.

Here is a list of everything that was stolen :( Please RT and share and keep an eye out. x pic.twitter.com/hzdX9wVvXc

*Munich/Düsseldorf, 10 April 2018: With the conclusion of a long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) between the renewable energy specialist BayWa r.e. and the Norwegian energy group Statkraft, everything is now clear to progress with the swift construction of the Spanish Don Rodrigo solar plant.*

The BayWa r.e. project, which will provide a total output of over 170 MWp, is located south of Seville and is one of the first solar projects of this size in Europe to be realised without any subsidies. This is made possible by a 15-year PPA that is the first of its kind in Spain. At the same time, it signals Statkraft's entry into the Spanish market as a leading European provider of PPAs.

BayWa r.e. has already started preliminary work on the project and the plant is expected to be commissioned at the end of the year. In an area covering around 265 hectares (approx. 190 football fields), roughly 300 GWh of solar power will be generated every year - that's the equivalent to the annual consumption of approximately 93,000 average Spanish households.

"Building one of the first subsidy-free solar projects of this size in Europe is a ground-breaking milestone; both for us as an international renewable energy company and also for the future of the European PV market," explains Benedikt Ortmann, Managing Director of BayWa r.e. Solar Projects GmbH.

"The fact that we can implement such a project without state funding is largely thanks to the continual improvement of system design and building costs.

Matthias Taft, Board Member of BayWa AG with responsibility for the energy business adds: "We are entering a new phase of energy generation: for the first time, renewable energy plants are able to generate cleaner power at the same or even lower price as conventional power plants. This also demonstrates the significant potential of new financing models in ever-changing market conditions. We are delighted to be making such an important contribution to the success of the European energy revolution."

With a portfolio of 15,000 MW, the Norwegian energy group Statkraft is one of Europe's largest providers of market access for renewable energy.

"With Power Purchase Agreements like the one for Don Rodrigo we are ensuring the long-term financing of new plants and are thus enabling further development of renewable energy across Europe," says Hallvard Granheim, Executive Vice President Market Operations & IT at Statkraft.

"Statkraft is bringing together pan-European electricity producers and companies from trade and industry, and is developing new concepts that add value for both sides. Our customers benefit from our decades of experience in supplying renewable energy at long-term predictable and competitive prices."

*About BayWa r.e. renewable energy GmbH (BayWa r.e.): *

European markets opened strongly this morning after Chinese President Xi Jinping promised a “new phase of opening up” for China in his keynote address early this morning to the Boao Forum for Asia. The Chinese leader’s speech also allayed fears of a looming US-China trade confrontation.

The FTSE opened 44 points up at the start of trading, a jump of 0.61 per cent. The Europe-wide Stoxx-50 also jumped nearly 20 points this morning, while Germany’s DAX was up a full percentage point, climbing to 12,428.90. The French CAC index also climbed 10 points, or about a quarter of a percent.

“President Xi’s speech overnight appears to have struck the right tone, providing some relief for investors who have been buffeted by the recent war of words between Trump and China over trade,” said Rebecca O’Keeffe, head of investment at Interactive Investor. “Today’s speech was the clearest indication yet that China is prepared to take concrete steps to address some of Trump’s chief criticisms. The big question is whether President Trump will now take the olive branch offered by Xi’s conciliatory approach”.

Europe’s strong opening comes after Asian markets rallied overnight in the wake of President Xi’s promise to continue with reforms to the Chinese economy. Japan's Nikkei share average .N225 rose 0.8 percent, helped by a jump in the transportation sector. The MSCI’s Asia-Pacific share index climbed 0.8 percent.

“Chinese President Xi Jinping unveiled a new set of economic reforms, including Trump-friendly plans to reduce tariffs,” said Jasper Lawler, head of research at London Capital Group. “Xi’s apparent desire to balance out his country’s international payments is clearly great news for countries and companies selling goods to China. We are still clinging on with gritted teeth to our belief that a trade war will be averted.” Reported by City A.M. 1 hour ago.
