Report: Driving UK Growth

The coming year will be a challenging one for the UK’s financial markets. But, with intelligent economic management, there’s every reason to think those challenges will be met and the UK market will once again experience meaningful growth. That’s the message of our extensively researched report on the key trends and themes facing UK business. We are delighted to share the insights of our research with you.

Much of the evidence from financial markets this year has been positive but, against this, risks remain as governments globally seek to tighten fiscal and monetary policies and grapple with public debt. European governments, in particular, face the challenge of a potential sovereign debt crisis in the Eurozone. This macro-economic and political uncertainty could leave an impression on debt and equity markets in the coming 12 months while, over the longer term, the overhaul of the global regulatory architecture will also have an impact on corporate fund raising.

Our research into the financial markets, and the views and insights of the people working in them, helps us to understand the needs and concerns of our clients and to tailor our products and services towards them. This report will also be of use to policymakers grappling with the challenges of reforming regulation. And, particularly, we hope it will be of service to the companies and financial institutions struggling to position themselves in the new global economy – the people who are really ‘driving UK growth’.
