UK plc sees profits soar, while IPOs continue to rise.
(From Financial Director)
Profitability on the up
UK corporate profitability has risen to 12.3% in 2003, up from 11.4% in 2002, according to National Statistics. Manufacturing companies recorded the highest net return in four years (8.6%), while services companies' profitability reached 15.5%. The ONS measure divides operating surpluses by capital employed.

Minimum wage fears
One-eighth (13%) of UK businesses are likely to suffer a significant loss of profits, or have to make redundancies, if the national minimum wage is set at GBP5 per hour, according to a survey by the ICAEW. Its research of more than 1,000 accountants suggests that more than half of businesses would suffer if the rate were set at GBP7 per hour.
