In 2023, the direct transfer on coal for all beneficiaries or sectors in the UK stood below 1 billion USD. From 2024 onwards, forecasts indicate a steady increase, reaching 1.25 billion USD by 2028. This represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 4.95% over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028.
Year-on-year variations indicate a consistent rise: 5.8% in 2025, 4.6% in 2026, 4.4% in 2027, and 5.0% in 2028. These suggest a stable yet moderate upward trend in financial commitments to coal sectors.
Future trends to watch include potential shifts in government policies towards renewable energy, which could impact funding toward coal. Environmental regulations and international climate agreements could also play a critical role in determining future investments.
