Brexit uncertainty and business jitters caused by Covid lockdowns will delay investment rebound

A combination of Brexit uncertainty, which is expected to continue into next year with or without a deal, and the blow to business confidence during the first and second lockdowns will delay a rebound in private sector investment.
