The Chancellor’s Mansion House speech is a key event in the calendar for the financial and related professional services industry and is watched closely by both domestic and international investors.
It is a unique opportunity for the newly appointed Chancellor Rachel Reeves to set out how industry and government can work together to deliver for communities and businesses in every region and nation of the country. Explaining the government's vision for financial and related professional services at Mansion House would also give our industry the certainty of policy approach it needs to invest in the UK across the course of a Parliament.
On behalf of our members, we are, therefore, engaging with HM Treasury to set out five key policy areas for strong partnership between the government and industry to deliver on shared priorities, particularly delivering inclusive growth across every part of the UK.
- Partnering with industry to create the conditions that will drive more investment into UK companies, delivering economic growth, job creation, and investment opportunities for people right across the country.
- Boosting growth through investment and regulatory stability, by ensuring a stable, proportionate, and predictable regulatory environment to attract more investment and capital.
- Delivering a coherent, stable, and predictable tax regime with a clear roadmap for tax policy over the next parliament, giving businesses and international investors the certainty they need to invest across the UK.
- Empowering regions through devolution, ensuring that metro mayors can strategically manage critical policy areas – from skills to the development of economic clusters and delivery of major infrastructure projects – and grow their regional economies.
- Leading the net zero transition by setting out long-term policy with a clear narrative and delivery roadmap, positioning Britain as a global leader in clean and renewable energy.
