The UK’s city minister will visit European capitals next week in a push to deepen ties with the European Union on financial services as Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves seeks to spur economic growth domestically.
Lucy Rigby will meet counterparts in Paris, Berlin and Luxembourg to discuss strengthening market links and finding areas where closer cooperation would help firms raise capital, according to people familiar with the matter who spoke anonymously in order to discuss plans that have yet to be announced.
