UK Approves Jackdaw Gas Field; Launches Energy Wealth Fund
What happened
Labour granted approval for gas production from the Jackdaw gas field site in the North Sea. Chancellor John Healey also announced the launch of an energy wealth fund, which will use tax revenues from North Sea oil and gas to invest in renewable projects. The Jackdaw site is expected to increase domestic gas production by about 6 per cent at its peak.

Why it matters

Supply risks are emerging due to the ongoing war in the Middle East, which is causing supply chain risks for Asian economies.
