Foreign Exchange is big business in the City of London. At the last
official count, turnover on the London foreign exchange market
averaged a staggering $504 billion a day. No other financial centre
in the world even comes close to matching this total. Thirty one
per cent of global foreign exchange activity takes place in the
United Kingdom, compared with only sixteen per cent in the United
States and nine per cent in Japan. However, this has not always
been so. A hundred years ago, the London foreign exchange market
played second fiddle to more important centres in New York, Paris
and Berlin. This book charts the inexorable rise of foreign
exchange in London over the past century and is the first
full-length study of this amazing transformation.
