TheCityUK champions the international competitiveness of the financial services industry. Created in 2010, we support the whole of the sector, promoting UK financial services at home and overseas and playing an active role in the regulatory and trade policy debate.
We have a global export focus with a commitment to help UK based firms grow their business in other parts of the world. As of January 2011, the financial services industry accounted for 10% of UK GDP and 11% of UK tax receipts. The sector currently employs 1 million people, more than 66% of whom work outside London, and underpins the businesses that drive jobs and growth. Added together with the further 900,000 employed in professional services, it is easy to see the importance of a sector that employs one in every ten of the working population.
We provide constructive advice and the practitioner voice on trade policy and all aspects of taxation, regulation, and other legislative matters that affect the competitiveness of the sector. We conduct extensive research and run a national and international events programme to inform the debate. Our senior team regularly engages with regulators and policy makers at home and overseas, ensuring the sector's views are represented at the highest levels. We are tasked with creating a new vision for the financial services sector.
We are independent and politically neutral.
