New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/31/2022 -- New figures have revealed that the US is now leading the EU as a destination for UK financial services exports. The UK remains a significant global center for financial and related professional services but relationships and trade links have shifted since the UK left the EU. In 2020, financial services exports from the UK to the EU were down 6.6% to £24.7 billion year-on-year. However, while this trade link between the UK and the EU seems to be reducing in intensity, that's not the case with the connection to the US. The same figures indicated that exports to the US rose by 5.3% in the same time period, putting the country ahead of the EU financial services industry as a destination for UK financial services exports. While changes were inevitable as a result of shifting political ties and allegiances, the significance of this movement is a notable indicator of the direction of markets in the years to come.
