London

The UK is the largest international finance hub and plays a key role in facilitating cross-border finance around the world. It offers global companies a broad spectrum of financial services, from capital markets to insurance and access to international markets.

London is generally considered as one of the three ‘command centers’ of the global economy. Its location allows traders to utilise both the Asian and US markets. 

It is a leading centre for international bank lending, derivatives markets, money markets, international insurance, trading in gold, silver and base metals through the London bullion market and London Metal Exchange, and issuance of international debt securities. It houses the world’s largest foreign exchange market and the biggest derivatives market for off-exchange derivatives. 

Businesses in the UK benefit from a widely respected regulatory regime that protects consumers and opens doors for global investment professionals.
