AsianFin -- The United Kingdom has surged to become the most attractive country for global investment following a landmark trade agreement between Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and U.S. President Donald Trump.

A new survey of chief financial officers at major UK-listed firms shows Britain has climbed to the top of global investment rankings, overtaking the U.S., Japan, and Middle Eastern markets. The country has made a dramatic leap from sixth place at the end of last year, signaling renewed investor confidence amid improving transatlantic trade ties.
