The APPG on Financial Markets and Services is an informal, cross-party interest and educational group. First established in March 2003, for over 20 years it has provided MPs and peers with a unique forum for briefings and constructive debate on issues relating to the wholesale financial sector with senior city practitioners, advisors, economists and academics.  The group’s mission is to provide a mechanism for parliamentarians to obtain a balanced industry view on topical issues on financial services – from securing economic growth to the challenges of delivering pension reform and financing the transition to Net Zero.  

With the primary mission of the Government focused on delivering economic growth, the relationship between Government, regulators and the City of London has never been more important.  The APPG is supported by a senior City practitioner Industry Advisory Group representing the leading wholesale markets’ trade associations, market infrastructure providers and the Secretariat is provided by officers at the City of London Corporation, located at Guildhall.
