#EV The news gives a good indicator, and despite my distance from the British markets, I am an analyst and specialist in the automotive sector In addition, I am a financial and economic analyst All these combined experiences raised a question in me! Why do European companies go to Britain to build their factories when we know the high cost of production in Britain? the aim? I did not find an economic reason that pushed me to be positive, and if it were up to me, I would have chosen the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Sultanate of Oman, or the Emirates, as the investment environment for these countries is a thousand times better than any country in the world. As for Jaguar, the revival of the electric car sector is an excellent matter, as it appears that the company’s management retracted its statements in which it announced the cessation of electric cars. I'm a big fan of Jaguar cars, especially the XJ My advice to them and I always repeat it (The problem is not in the electric car sector, but in the management of this sector) #Amer_deeb

Another 'good news' story for the UK. There was a certain narrative pushed by the negativity brigade that said that UK manufacturing was dead, & specifically that automotive manufacture would not survive Brexit because the import/export trade would be too difficult, so the smart money would go elsewhere. As so often, that was the forecast while the actual outcome has been completely different, yet the UK media continue to obsess with forecasts and ignore actuals. What's particularly striking about this piece is that the inward investment is led by innovation. The UK is never going to be a cheaper place to manufacture than China. The way to compete is through industrial innovation. There will always be a market for 'best'.
