Amazon to invest $54 billion in Britain over next three years
LONDON (Reuters) -Amazon has deepened its commitment to Britain, with the e-commerce giant saying it plans to invest 40 billion pounds ($54 billion) over the next three years, a move the UK government hailed as a vote of confidence in its economic policies. Elected in 2024, the Labour government has made boosting Britain's anaemic growth a priority and wants to see a step up in foreign investment. Amazon said on Tuesday its expansion in Britain, its third biggest market after the United States and Germany, would create thousands of jobs.
