The single most important commodity traded in the City of London is confidence. The public, bankers and the markets need to believe that the UK will continue to be a global financial centre. They must have trust in the quality, ethics and skills of its bankers. And they must believe in the wisdom and careful regulation of its government. Without confidence, it will be impossible to achieve the “twin challenges of engineering a recovery and reforming the financial system” envisaged by Sir Mervyn King, Bank of England governor.
倫敦金融城(City of London)交易的最重要單一商品是信心。公眾、銀行家和市場需要相信，英國將保持全球金融中心的顯赫地位。他們必須信任銀行家的素質(zhì)、道德和技能。他們還必須相信英國政府的智慧和審慎監(jiān)管。如果沒有信心，英國央行(Bank of England)行長默文?金爵士(Sir Mervyn King)所設(shè)想的“推動(dòng)復(fù)蘇和改革金融體系的雙重挑戰(zhàn)”就不可能實(shí)現(xiàn)。
