The UK is the number one destination for Foreign Direct Investment
The UK is the number one destination for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Europe with many overseas organisations being attracted to the UK through its reputation as one of the most open economies in the world and a country that boasts a stable business and political environment.
As a world leader in innovation, with a highly skilled workforce and a competitive tax regime, many businesses look to the UK for growth opportunities. In 2014, the UK’s inward FDI stock passed the £1 trillion mark for the first time – a value which is surpassed by only the US and China.
