London
The United Kingdom is a global leader and the undisputed financial hub of Europe, boasting an impressive trade surplus in financial services (£92bn) that nearly matches the combined surpluses of the next three leading countries. The sector contributes 10% of the U.K.'s total economic output, generates the largest trade surplus of all industries, and is the top taxpayer and exporter. London, a global economic powerhouse, drives 25% of the U.K.'s GDP.
London remains a major international financial centre, hosting around 250 foreign banks and dominating international markets like foreign exchange trading. Its financial services sector is a crucial employment source, accounting for 49% of all U.K. financial sector jobs located in the capital. Post-Brexit, the U.K. is focused on strengthening trade and investment ties with key non-EU nations like the U.S., Japan, and growing markets such as India and China.
NEW YORK
The U.S. has been the world's largest economy since 1871 and is projected to grow from $30.337 trillion in 2025 to $35.75 trillion by 2030. This powerhouse, constituting almost a quarter of the global economy, is underpinned by advanced infrastructure, technology, and natural resources. Despite having less than 5% of the world's population, Americans generate over 20% of the world's total income, a prosperity aided by expanded global trade since 1934. The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), valued at $28 trillion in 2024, dominates nearly 40% of the world's stock market value. Eight of the top ten global companies by market capitalisation are American, exemplified by Apple, whose market cap has surpassed the annual GDP of 216 countries recorded by the World Bank.
New York City is a global financial centre and economic powerhouse, ranking with London and Tokyo. Its metropolitan area boasts a GDP of approximately $2.2 trillion, making it the largest regional economy in the U.S. and comparable to Canada's entire economy. Though New York accounts for only about 1% of U.S. landmass, it contributes 8% of the country's total GDP. As the world's largest financial centre, New York controls nearly 40% of global finances and is home to 42 Fortune 500 companies. Manhattan, its key business district, houses the NYSE and NASDAQ.
