London Stock Exchange
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment she has made of the effectiveness of her economic policies at attracting people to list shares in London.
Answered by Emma Reynolds
The UK has recently attracted several high-profile listings from firms taking advantage of our reforms to make it easier to raise capital and fund growth on UK markets.
This includes IPOs from high-growth UK firms such as Raspberry Pi and Applied Nutrition, as well as listings from prominent international firms such as Canal+ and CK Infrastructure.
More broadly, in 2024 more capital was raised on UK equity markets than the next three European exchanges combined.
