The City of London Corporation's work in support of financial and professional services

The financial and professional services (FPS) industry is a cornerstone of the UK’s economy. As the world's largest net exporter of financial services, and Europe’s top destination for foreign direct investment, the UK’s FPS sector is a global leader. 

The City of London represents the UK’s financial and professional services sector, at home and abroad. At a moment when global economic headwinds are weighing on growth prospects worldwide, our role has never been more critical. We work to strengthen the UK’s international competitiveness, catalyse investment and support sustainable economic growth across all regions of the country. 

From April to June 2026, we have worked with partners across the industry, government and partner institutes to drive UK-wide economic growth. Explore the positive impacts of our work.
