Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what outcome targets have been set for the Listings Taskforce for (i) the number of UK companies listing in the UK, (ii) the number of overseas companies choosing UK markets and (iii) the value of capital raised through UK listings.

At Mansion House 2025, the government published its Financial Services Growth and Competitiveness Strategy. This document sets out the government’s ten-year plan for the UK to be the world’s centre of choice for financial services investment now and in 2035, with capital markets as a core pillar of the strategy.

As part of this strategy, the government established a Listings Taskforce to support businesses to list and grow in the UK. HM Treasury continues to work in partnership with the Office for Investment, and industry, to ensure the UK attracts the best and brightest businesses from around the world, and right here in the UK, to list on UK markets.

Since 2025, more than £25.8bn of equity capital has been raised in London through follow-on issuances and IPOs.
