Vision for Economic Growth – a roadmap to prosperity

Today, the City of London Corporation launches our ground-breaking report, Vision for Economic Growth – a roadmap to prosperity, which outlines how financial and professional services (FPS) can help unlock £225 billion of investment to drive economic growth across the country by 2030 and beyond.

The United Kingdom urgently needs economic growth because a growing economy means more investment, more jobs, and more funding for public services. Very few issues are more important to the country’s short-term wellbeing or long-term security than creating economic growth.

The City of London Corporation has harnessed its convening power to galvanise more than 300 partners across FPS to speak with one voice on what solutions we can provide to make the United Kingdom more prosperous. Driven by five objectives that will strengthen the sector as a vehicle of jobs and prosperity, we can, and we will, support economic growth nationwide.

The report sets out how to ensure that high potential British firms can get the financing they need to succeed at home, how the UK can lead on the adoption of new technology, how to make sure the UK is the go-to partner globally on net zero and how we can take action to promote exports and trade.
