A package of investments of US companies in the United Kingdom was presented during the state visit of the White House leader, Donald Trump, to Great Britain, with the mysterious commitment of Blackstone that now increases the eyebrows. While Microsoft’s tastes, Openai and Nvidia promised to pump a collective of $ 202 billion to the United Kingdom., Blackstone promised the greatest individual investment. On Wednesday night, the British government announced that the company had made a capital commitment forward of £ 90 billion ($ 121.5 billion), which would be based on a previously announced announcement that will be assigned to the support of the Data Center. In terms of dollars, Blackstone’s total commitment will be just under $ 135 billion, to current exchange rates. “We hope to invest in more than £ 100b of assets from the United Kingdom during the next decade,” said a Blackstone spokesman for CNBC by email on Friday. “This includes investments in companies, real estate, infrastructure and private credit.” ‘Ripple effect’ for the United Kingdom market, although it is not clear what specific companies or projects that Blackstone could add to its portfolio, Mark PRESKETT, senior portfolio manager of Morningstar Wealth, told CNBC that global investors would probably take note of Blackstone’s greatest interest in Great Britain. Although PRESKETT said Morningstar saw the United Kingdom as one of the “most attractive destinations” for investment capital, he agreed that this was not the consensus among market participants. “It is a great play, if you judge the feeling of the United Kingdom market on the flows of investor funds, which are extremely weak,” he explained by email on Friday. “Blackstone’s promise is a significant vote of confidence in the United Kingdom market and investments in areas such as real estate, private credit and infrastructure could create domain effects, potentially attracting additional tickets and highlighting the position of the United Kingdom as an attractive place to invest.” The feeling of investors to the United Kingdom has been cushioned in recent years by Brexit, a stagnant economy, political agitation and long -standing questions about the country’s public finances. The figures published by the United Kingdom Government in May revealed that foreign direct investment in Britain fell dramatically in 2023, falling to £ 1.3 billion £ 22.9 billion the previous year. The collection of OPI funds in the London market weakened a minimum of 30 years in the first half of this year, in the last blow to the capital of the United Kingdom. Dan Coatsworth, AJ Bell’s investment analyst, told CNBC on Friday that Blackstone’s investment in the United Kingdom had the potential to attract more capital flows to the country. “Blackstone clearly sees great opportunities in the United Kingdom and that sends a positive signal to the broader business community,” he said by email. “Large investments can lay the foundations for creating centers, acting as a magnet to attract companies with similar interests.” Caution, however, AJ Bell’s Coatsworth Coatsworth also suggested that investors should not expect the capital commitments of Blackstone quickly transforming perspectives for Great Britain. “Blackstone intends to invest a significant amount of cash, but it is not clear where all this money will be implemented,” he told CNBC. “The investment plan of £ 100 billion is also distributed over a period of 10 years, so there will not be a sudden boom of activity.” Duncan Edwards, CEO of British -American Business, said Thursday “CNBC Europe” that remained to see exactly how much the money promised really arrived in Britain. “They have been a fairly perfect impact … From a United Kingdom government perspective, they could not really have asked for a better advertisement series in the last three days,” he said, referring to the collective package that included the commitment of £ 100 billion of Blackstone. ″[But] You have to have a little caution about the numbers. You know, promised dollars, famous, they are not the same as real dollars. Therefore, you just need to see what happens in the coming months and years to see what really compromises the ads that have been made. “
