The City of London Corporation's work in support of financial and professional services: annual review 2024/2025

The financial and professional services (FPS) industry is a cornerstone of the UK’s economy. As the 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 Corporation acts on behalf of the UK-wide financial and professional services (FPS) sector. We work to ensure that the sector thrives domestically and to promote its global competitiveness. This underpins growth – creating jobs, attracting investment, and supporting businesses across the regions and the country. 

Our Annual Review 2024/2025 highlights key achievements: 

• Closing the £50bn business investment gap: boosting international capital flows and domestic action such as the Mansion House Accord and Compact. 
• Championing the UK for sustainable finance: co-launching the Transition Finance Council with government and hosting the Net Zero Delivery Summit. 
• Accelerating digital transformation: supporting innovation in areas including AI and digital verification to address emerging challenges and opportunities for FPS.
