▼ + stars: | 2023-07-27 | by ( Jenni Reid | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

Nissan CEO Makoto Uchida said the Japanese carmaker needs to bring new vehicles to the increasingly crowded Chinese market at speed. Earlier this year, Nissan announced a China-focused electric SUV, called the Arizon, and plans to launch other models as the company grapples with declining market share and slowing sales. In China, the company has faced particular competition from homegrown BYD. Nissan on Wednesday reported net income for the most recent quarter of 105.5 billion yen ($751 million), beating expectations and marking a sharp rise year-on-year. However, results showed a 45.8% drop in China unit sales versus the same period the previous year.

☆ Britain's richest man says Brexit was 'not good for the UK,' backs PM Sunak's economic plans

LONDON — Britain's wealthiest man, Gopichand Hinduja, condemned the U.K.'s departure from the European Union, but threw his backing behind Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's ability to revive the country's ailing economy. "The step taken of Brexit was not good for the U.K.," Hinduja told CNBC's Tanvir Gill in London on Monday. Britain voted to leave the European Union in 2016 and formally exited the bloc at the end of Jan. 2020. None of those partnerships will be more valuable to the U.K. than its forthcoming free trade arrangement (FTA) with India, according to Hinduja. "The biggest help the U.K. can get is from India, because India's economy, by 2027, will be the third largest in the world," he said.

U.K. Finance Minister Jeremy Hunt on Friday said that the government will look to cut taxes "as soon as we can afford to," amid pressure from some lawmakers in his own party to reduce the country's levies.

Asked if taxes will be lower by the time the election rolls around, Hunt said "as soon as we can afford to, yes." In his Autumn Statement in November, Hunt delivered a slew of tax rises and spending cuts as he set out to plug a substantial hole in the country's public finances.

"We have to recognize that the United States is coming to this from behind," told CNBC's Tanvir Gill at the G-20 meeting in Bengaluru, India.

"We will make sure that the U.K. continues to be a very attractive place for all clean energy investments, but we'll do it in a different way, our own way," he said. "We are very proud of the progress we have made, and we will continue to blaze a trail," he added.
