The better-than-expected final regulatory outcome for Northumbrian Water, a UK-based potable water and sewage treatment company, removed the reset pressure on CKI HOLDINGS (01038.HK), CLSA issued a research report saying.

This is a positive sign that the regulators intend to set a sufficient regulated return to attract the necessary investment in utility projects in the current high interest rate environment.
