Simple Past to be: FJP-MG–2010
Hopes rise for UK financial sector
The number of new financial companies seeking UK regulatory authorisation rose 10 per cent in the second quarter, marking the first increase since early 2008. The single largest group among the 282 new registrants with the Financial Services Authority were independent financial advisers who sell life assurance and other retail products. The data are likely to boost hopes that parts of the financial community in London may now be reshaping and adapting after the financial crisis. The number of firms cancelling their authorisation with the FSA also slowed by 18 per cent in the three months to June, a study by IMAS Corporate Advisors shows. But the researchers warned that it was too early to say the recession was ending. The 631 cancellations still far outnumbered the 282 new entrants UK-wide. But London might be bottoming out: the capital′s 114 new groups equalled the number of cancellations in the quarter.
