Is Chancellor Rachel Reeves abandoning north-east England?

The ongoing infrastructure issues in the north-east of England and the lack of government investment may affect local economies negatively. However, potential benefits from airport expansions could provide a future upside for related stocks or sectors. Companies involved in construction, infrastructure, and sustainable aviation fuel may see positive movements as the government eventually addresses these needs.

Conversely, if the government continues to prioritize the south over the north in infrastructure development, regional job losses or stagnant growth could undermine investor confidence in local markets or companies. Companies heavily reliant on public infrastructure funding in the north may face declines in both investment and stock performance.
