British finance minister Rachel Reeves is preparing to deliver her first major speech to the financial and professional services industry on November 14, according to government announcements.
The event, known as the ‘Mansion House Speech’, provides an opportunity for finance ministers to share their vision for the industry’s future and discuss regulatory intentions. A Treasury spokesperson emphasized that Reeves will outline strategic support for the UK’s financial services sector in her address.
This comes at a crucial time following the Labour Party’s landslide election victory in July, ending 14 years of Conservative rule. The government is prioritizing economic growth, as evidenced by an upcoming international investment summit and plans to address a substantial public finance deficit through potential tax increases.
