THE UK RETAINS RANKING AS EUROPE’S MOST ATTRACTIVE DESTINATION FOR FINANCIAL SERVICES INVESTMENT
According to data from EY, the UK acquired 99 investment projects in financial services in 2019. However, in 2020, just 49 were acquired, a significant drop that puts the country only 14% ahead of France.
The latest EY UK Attractiveness Survey for Financial Services found that foreign investment fell by 23% across Europe in 2020, as the pandemic impacted business confidence and foreign travel.
