On 14 November 2024, HM Treasury issued a Call for Evidence on the Government’s Financial Services Growth & Competitiveness Strategy.

Once finalised the strategy will serve as the central guiding framework through which the Government will seek to achieve sustainable, inclusive growth for the financial services sector and secure the UK’s competitiveness as an international financial centre.

Call for Evidence

Through the Call for Evidence, the Government aims to gather additional evidence relating to:

  • The proposed scope and focus of the strategy.
  • What firms see as their major business growth opportunities and where they are targeting their investment as a result.
  • What factors matter most to firms when considering the UK as a destination to invest and grow a financial services business.
  • What factors that would make the greatest difference to growing and enhancing the competitiveness of the UK’s financial centre over the next 10 years.

Next steps

The deadline for responding to the Call for Evidence is 12 December 2024.

The strategy will be published in Spring 2025.
