Economic relevance

The City of London is the world’s largest financial centre. Heir to the British Empire, the UK has strong economic links with all english speaking countries and especially with the USA. As a result, the pound sterling (GBP) is the 4th most traded currency and the 3rd most held reserve currency in the world (after the US dollar and the euro).
