The UK Infrastructure Bank has operational independence in its day-to-day activity, including investment decisions. As it builds its pipeline the UKIB will take a long-term approach to its interventions, aiming to achieve a broadly balanced portfolio where investments are reasonably distributed among different sectors within its remit and across different regions and nations of the UK. In the medium term the UKIB will develop a framework for monitoring its impact. So far the UKIB has completed seven investments. Details on the quantum of each investment and its location is published on the Bank’s website.
