China – UK trade reaches record high
Commenting on remarks by the Chinese ambassador, Liu Xiaoming, that UK-China trade had surpassed £43bn last year, TheCityUK’s chief executive, Chris Cummings, said: “This is great news and I have no doubt that it will be confirmed by the UK Office of National Statistics later this year. Our bilateral trade with China has been growing steadily, including in my own sector, financial services.
“TheCityUK is committed to working with its member companies to build ever stronger links with the world’s second largest economy. We want the UK to be at the centre of the developing Renminbi trade and are keen to help the Shanghai free trade zone become a success.”
