U.K. Business Leaders Hail Boris Johnson’s Victory, Want Quick Movement On Trade Deals
December 13, 2019
Britain’s business community celebrated Boris Johnson’s resounding victory in the U.K. general election and now are urging him to quickly move on making new trade deals with the European Union for a post-Brexit world.
The FTSE-100 index and the pound sterling soared on Friday morning in the wake of Johnson’s triumph.
Iain Tait, a partner at London & Capital, a global wealth and asset manager, said Johnson’s emphatic win showed that “the Labour Party’s economic model has been rejected completely. The spirit of wealth creation and low tax resonates across this country.”
