Our annual ‘Enabling growth across the UK’ report explores financial and related professional service’s economic contribution to the regions and nations of the UK in detail.
The report once again confirms that over two thirds of people working in financial and related professional services are based outside London. The industry employed more than 2.4m people across the UK in 2022, and registered an increase of 354,000 jobs over the last decade. Our research also details the benefits the industry brings to the UK in terms of economic output, tax contribution, productivity, and other metrics.
As well as providing a detailed analysis of the industry's contribution across the UK, we have set out policy recommendations focusing on ways that the government can help enhance the industry’s positive contribution to the economy and help drive inclusive economic growth. These recommendations focus on:
- devolution
- people
- growth
- planning reform.
