The financial and related professional services industry is a strategic national asset that makes a significant contribution to economic growth and stability.

It plays a central role in critical areas such as financing scale-up firms to create the technologies of the future; driving economic growth across the regions and nations; delivering vital infrastructure; and enabling the transition to net zero through its provision of capital, investment, professional advice and insurance.

Our manifesto sets out practical recommendations for the next government to deliver our shared objectives.

We are calling on the next government to prioritise strong collaboration between the financial and related professional services industry, government and regulators to foster an environment that enables our industry to make an even greater contribution in these, and other, important areas.

Our manifesto sets out practical recommendations for the next government to deliver our shared objectives and prioritise stability, certainty and predictability in regulation, tax and other key policy areas. Each recommendation sets out what should be delivered during the first 100 days of office to secure the foundations for financing Britain’s future and driving growth over the next five years

Our key recommendations for the next government

Working together to deliver growth

The UK-based financial and related professional services industry is major national employer, a significant contributor to the public purse and enabler of growth across the economy.

To ensure that the industry can make an even greater contribution in these and other critical areas we are calling for the next government to prioritise strong collaboration with us and the regulators.

From creating the right conditions to drive investment right across the UK; empowering regions through devolution; and boosting growth through enhanced trade, investment and regulatory stability, to delivering a coherent, stable and predictable tax regime; and leading the transition to a sustainable future, our industry has an important role to play.

The practical recommendations set out in this manifesto for the next government will, we believe, see us deliver our shared objectives and we look forward to taking these forward.
