Finance Monthly - December 2021

Between the 17th century when goldsmiths issued the first-ever British banknotes, to the modern-day where we sit atop the table as the largest exporter of financial services in the world, the UK has ushered in a wealth of key developments in the finance industry. A large portion of the UK’s economy consists of financial services (FS) employees, and they occupy a range of roles that help people and organisations with their money related needs. Whether granting loans to small businesses, exchanging currency and stocks, or providing insurance cover, FS employees are there to help make, invest and manage money and to support businesses and consumers alike.
