The UK is the number one country in the G7 for inwards direct investment relative to economic size, with 159 billion pounds invested by the end of 1995. UK international bank lending in 1994 was greater than any other country in the world. My boast that Britain is good for business is not an idle one. Economic Secretary Angela Knight was speaking at the British Invisibles Conference, on 15 April 1996 in Toronto, Canada, to promote UK financial skills and expertise to Canadian businesses and financiers. British Invisibles is the only UK private cross-sector organisation responsible for the promotion of invisible exports.
Membership is open to any UK-based invisible exporter.
Members include leading UK financial and business services and trade and professional associations, the Bank of England and Corporation of London. Material on other Treasury matters can also be found at this address.
