Spotlight on the UK: Charles Emond Speaks with the Financial Times
On May 25, our President and CEO, Charles Emond, highlighted the opportunities CDPQ sees in the UK during an interview with Mary McDougall of the Financial Times. He shared an ambition to increase our exposure to the UK market by 50% over the coming years, an additional deployment of over £8 billion to our largest investment destination outside of North America.
The UK stands out, he noted, for the clarity of its business environment, its ability to execute deals as well as the welcoming approach it offers to investors.
The article also underscores our positioning as a trusted partner for UK institutional investors, thanks to our established presence in several key sectors of the economy and role as a leading player in the infrastructure sector, with a particular focus on the energy transition.
