Executive Director, Deloitte Center for Government Insights | Author of Bridgebuilders: How Government Can Transcend Boundaries to Solve Big Problems, available now.
With all the discussion of late about declining trust in institutions, especially government, a really important consideration is the difference between wholesale and retail trust. “Wholesale trust” strike at the broadest social and political questions and over which individual officials—even presidents and prime ministers—often have little control due to the political environment, wider trust in institutions. But there’s also the concept of “retail trust,” concerning the direct relationships between individuals and the government programs that serve them. Here we have seen plenty of examples of how governments can improve retail trust. Check out our new book, Bridgebuilders, to learn more. Don Kettl khttps://lnkd.in/gM-dx5JW

The Square Mile is puzzled by the lack of retail investor interest in UK markets. The answer is straightforward: without promotion to retail investors, engagement and participation will remain low. Just as consumers need awareness of products, investors need awareness of markets and companies. It’s not about complex solutions or reform or taxes, but rather about raising awareness. #stocks #investors #ir #investorrelations #comms

📢 We read with interest that in response to rising costs, some shop owners have taken a strategic step by reducing their opening hours. Ellie Baldry of Peasenhall General Store in Suffolk is closing her shop at 15:00 GMT instead of 17:00 during January, citing financial prudence as the driving force behind this decision. She emphasised that trade has been relatively slow, prompting a cost-saving approach. Ellie plans to review this measure in February, considering customer feedback and economic conditions. Mark Thomas from Emmett's Store is also closing an hour earlier at 16:00 instead of 17:00. He attributed this decision to the post-Christmas economic slowdown, coupled with health and safety considerations for his team. This move reflects the challenges small businesses face in the current economic climate. The government has pledged support to the small business and hospitality sector with initiatives such as business rates relief and alcohol duty rate freezes. As shop owners adapt to these financial challenges, it's clear that their focus remains on ensuring the sustainability of their businesses while navigating the complexities of today's economy. 🛍️ #BusinessNews #SmallBusiness #EconomicChallenges

We will continue lobbying hard on these issues for all our levy-payers. https://lnkd.in/erf8Q3DB
