UK Trade and Development
The United Kingdom is the world’s best connected investment location.
With US$ 4.8 trillion of foreign investment, the UK has a world class business environment and a unique investor development network which is the global gold standard for international businesses seeking to grow and succeed.
For generations people have brought their business here knowing that the UK offers a springboard for global success and creativity. As they have developed, those businesses have made an extraordinary contribution to the UK’s economic well-being. That is why, against the backdrop of current global economic uncertainties, we are reinforcing our support to investors.
This Investors Charter sets out the UK Government’s commitment to you. Everything we do will be in the context of maintaining macroeconomic stability as a basis for low inflation and sustained growth, including through implementing the Fiscal Consolidation Plan, set out in the Government’s 2009 Pre-Budget Report.
