"I want this country to be a nation of entrepreneurs.
In a hyper-competitive world, how do we create the conditions for the UK to be the best economy to start, grow and invest in high-growth companies?"
Great to get started at #TreasuryConnect. gov.uk/government/news/uk-te…

We've just seen @Wise hit an £8 billion valuation after choosing to list in the UK. This is a remarkable achievement on their first day trading.
Yet another business benefitting from our pro-innovation regulations and top talent. Britain is a leading destination for tech firms.
You may have heard, we’re public now. But this is what matters the most –– how much the world’s still paying each year in hidden fees on foreign currency.
So today’s a big day, but we still have a long way to go. £150 billion worth of way to go.
