David Schwimmer, CEO, London Stock Exchange Group, in response to today’s statement from the Chancellor of the Exchequer said:
“We welcome the broad set of measures announced by the Chancellor today. This year has clearly demonstrated that public markets have an important role to play in enabling companies to grow and flourish. We look forward to working closely with the taskforce on reforming the UK listings regime, to help identify areas where swift action can be taken, alongside longer term changes, to further enhance London’s reputation as a competitive and innovative place to list and raise capital. We also welcome the package on sustainable finance, in particular the commitment to a sovereign green bond, alongside levelling the playing field on mandatory TCFD-aligned disclosure and a UK green taxonomy. Comparable and relevant climate related data is key to encouraging investment in the transition to a sustainable economy.”
