With a $2.83 trillion GDP, the UK is the fifth-largest economy in the world.
Foreign direct investment is a £55 billion annual source of capital for UK enterprises. There is an authentic appreciation among British companies of the value and benefits of working with foreign investors.
A number of well-established routes for inward investment exist for investors, including regional, sector and property-specific initiatives, with incentives available for investors involved with government capital investment initiatives and infrastructure projects.
