Boosting trade and unlocking investment in an uncertain world

President Trump’s return to the White House has reshaped the world trade order – posing risks, but also offering opportunities, for the UK.

What can be done to make the UK become a more attractive destination for foreign investment? How should the UK deal with the US - and approach its relationship with China? How can the government help UK businesses and will its new industrial and trade strategy help secure the UK’s economic future?

We discussed at the Liberal Democrat Conference in Bournemouth with an expert panel, featuring:

• Clive Jones MP, Liberal Democrat Spokesperson on Trade
• Helen Bower-Easton CBE, Director of Communications at the Financial Conduct Authority
• Joanna Cound, Global Head of Public Policy at BlackRock UK
• Chris Hayward, Policy Chairman at the City of London Corporation
• Giles Wilkes, Senior Fellow at the Institute for Government

This event was chaired by Jill Rutter, Senior Fellow at the Institute for Government.

This event was held in partnership with the City of London Corporation.
