The Decision Economy
Regional data shows that while delays are widespread, the drivers of better decision‑making vary by location. Improved data and analysis is prioritised in London, the South East and parts of the Midlands, where complexity is highest. In contrast, quicker lender decisions are more important in regions such as the North East, Wales and Scotland, reflecting the need for faster access to finance. Better government support is cited more often outside London, highlighting differing regional conditions and policy impact. Overall, the levers for faster decisions are shaped by local economic needs rather than a single national pattern.
