In the midst of the turmoil in the global bond market, British Treasurer Rachel Reeves claimed on Saturday ( Jan 11 ) that when she visited Beijing, she said, “natural home” for Chinese finance.
Reeves is the most mature American government official to travel to China since Theresa May and President Xi Jinping spoke with him seven years ago, as the formal name is chancellor of the exchequer.
The Labour Party’s gurgling efforts to revive growth are further hampered by the yield on American government bonds, which hit a 17-year substantial this week.
The government is more expensive to finance existing procedures and pay off debt, which raises the possibility that it will have to reduce spending or raise taxes as a result of the increase.
Carter stated that as a result of the resumption of the two countries ‘ long-sought finance discussions, London would be a “natural home for China’s monetary services companies and your clients raising money, and a rocket for Chinese companies seeking to build a global imprint.”
She hailed “opportunities to develop links” on capital markets, but said both places needed to work more closely on “regulatory assistance”.
At a later media briefing, Reeves said” common earth” had been found on financial companies, business, investment, climate change and other places.
She said the total value of what had been agreed would be worth £600 million ( US$ 732 million ) for the British economy over the next five years, without giving specific details.
Her Chinese counterpart, Vice Premier He Lifeng, said experience showed that” as long as China and the UK respect each other… relations between ( the ) two countries can develop in a healthy way”.
Reeves was pressured by the political opposition to remain at home and address the financial problems, but a spokeswoman for Prime Minister Keir Starmer said this week that she had not intended to reschedule her “long-standing” vacation.
On a visit to British bicycle-maker Brompton’s Beijing store before on Saturday, Reeves acknowledged “moves in global financial markets over the last few time”, but said the fiscal principles she set out in her October resources were “non-negotiable”.
” Development is the number one goal of this state, to make our country much off”, she said, adding that her visit had “unlock substantial benefits for American companies”.
The visit included the attendance of the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority’s governor and its chief executive.
