Brexit and Covid-19 fail to dent GCC investor appetite for the UK

Brexit and the UK's handling of the Covid-19 crisis have not dampened GCC investor appetite, experts say, with opportunities soaring in FinTech, decarbonisation, life sciences and infrastructure.

Britain's exit from the European Union has actually boosted investment opportunities, according to panellists at the GCC-UK Trade Circle Summit on Tuesday, as the UK can make fast decisions because it is no longer subject to the red tape that comes with being a member of the economic bloc.
