UK top in the EU

UK top in Europe and third globally for foreign investment Figures from the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) show the UK remains the top destination in Europe for foreign investment despite a fall in new funds coming into the country. New investment fell from $100bn to $64bn, but the UK still had a £1,400bn stock of funds - more than Germany, Spain and Poland combined and only surpassed by the US and China. International Trade Secretary Liam Fox said: “The latest OECD figures show the UK remains one of the world’s most attractive destinations for foreign investment. International investors continue to recognise the fundamental strengths of our economy – everything from our predictable legal system to our world-leading financial services.”
