The City of London will remain attractive to investors because it proved resilient in the wake of the global financial crisis in 2008 and its environment will not change under the first British coalition government since World War II, according to Nick Anstee, lord mayor of the City of London.

Anstee, speaking in Tokyo recently, said the City's competitiveness as a leading hub of international finance depends heavily on its pool of talented human resources, who create new markets and products.

Anstee, a key leader in Britain's financial services industry, was speaking May 28 at a seminar organized by the Keizai Koho Center. He was visiting with a group of British financial representatives.
