The City of London in India


Mumbai skyline

The City of London has long recognised the critical importance of India to the UK-based financial services industry, and is committed to making the best possible use of existing cultural, linguistic, political and trade relationships.

The rapid growth of the Indian economy brings with it a demand for international financial services, both to provide capital, risk management and expertise for companies as they expand, and to meet the needs of the growing middle class, in areas such as savings products, pensions, insurance and wealth management.  An important part of the City of London’s work is to help UK-based firms to access the Indian market, and to promote a genuinely two-way exchange of trade and investment in financial and professional services between the City and India. It is the City of London’s intention that its engagement is beneficial to India, as well as to the UK financial sector.

The City of London’s engagement with India is guided by the City of London Advisory Council for India, a group of senior Indian financial sector leaders.  The Council provides a formal structure for engagement with Indian financial services firms at a senior level, and expert guidance and advice on the Indian market. The Council guides the City of London’s India strategy, and the work of the City Office in Mumbai.

The City Office produces a weekly news monitor of financial services news and market developments, and a quarterly newsletter. To subscribe to the newsletters email the India office
