I quite enjoyed it too.It struck me though how right George Bernard Shaw was: Britain and America are 2 countries separated by a common language.On this side of the pond, we’re perhaps more reserved, embarrassed even, talking about why finance matters.Yet there’s plenty to cheer.We are the world’s biggest cross-border banking, foreign exchange (FX) and derivatives trading centre. We’re second in investment management … And our commercial insurance sector has doubled in size over a decade…A financial services sector built on trust and one the whole United Kingdom should be proud of… Even more so as new technologies, so many owing to our research base, transform our economy and society.UK firms leading in:artificial intelligence (AI) adoption and tokenisation.consumer access to investment opportunities widened.moving from Open Banking to Open Finance.Lady Mayor, your myth busting campaigns have championed London and the City.Thank you for your leadership.If we can capture this opportunity, we gain in productivity… With rewards of economic growth felt across the country.
