Surplus (Deficits) / GDP

Over the past six decades, budget deficits have been the norm in the UK, rather than a recession induced exception. In those 60 years, the budget has been in surplus on only eight occasions, the last time in 2001/2, just before Labour once more took the lid off public spending.

Foreign Direct Investment United KingdomThe UKs success was broad-based. Despite a second year of decline in business services projects across Europe, the UK grew its software and financial services sector projects, captured 35% of all European headquarter (HQ) moves and led Europe on R&D projects. The UK achieved a leading market share of 29% of US projects in Europe and was the main destination for investment in Europe from France, Japan, Australia, Canada, India and Ireland.The UK secured 164 manufacturing projects in 2014, beating the 131 projects secured by Germany. This was based on strong growth in the automotive, food, and machinery and equipment sectors, We have become used to being told that the UK cannot compete in manufacturing, but the results suggest that there is untapped potential and more attention should be given to the makers.The UK had the highest number of FDI projects among European nations in 2014. The percentage of total shares stands at 20% with 887 projects in 2014. The ability to convert FDI into jobs is illustrated by the fact that the highest number of corporate headquarters are located in the UK compared to other European nations. HSBC (HSBC), Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.B), and Unilever (UN) have headquarters in London.

Banking/Financial Sector United Kingdom

The report ranked Britain first amongst the worlds seven leading FinTech hubs, from Silicon Valley to Hong Kong, having compared these FinTech markets against four key criteria: the availability of talented staff, access to investment, the nature of government and regulatory policy, and the demand for FinTech services.

The report found that the UK has a particularly good policy environment for FinTech, with the most supportive regulatory regime, and praised the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) as one of the most progressive regulatory bodies in the world when it comes to FinTech.
