Why it is good to invest in the UK

After the Brexit, the UK has signed the free trade agreement with Japan in October 2020 and large amount of Japanese inward investment has been flowing into the UK. The UK has the unique position of being the gateway to connect English speaking world and European Union, together with the common wealth countries. The market size is the second largest in Europe and Japanese population in the UK was estimated to be 63,000 in 2020.

Rishi Sunak has announced £18 billion inward investment commitment from major Japanese companies such as Marubeni and Sumitomo in May 2023, the UK government is very keen to keep this trend.
