International Financial Services, London (IFSL)
- International Financial Services, London (IFSL)
International Financial Services, London, usually shortened to just IFSL, is a private-sector organisation which promotes British financial services. It was formerly known as British Invisibles.
British Invisibles itself originated in the Committee on Invisible Exports, set up in 1968 by the Bank of England.
IFSL has a membership drawn from across the spectrum of the UK's financial and related business services, including trade and professional associations, exchanges, the Bank of England, the City of London Corporation and leading international financial service companies that are based in London. IFSL also works closely with Government departments, including UK Trade & Investment, the Department of Trade and Industry, HM Treasury, and the Office for National Statistics.
IFSL promotes the international activities of UK-based financial institutions, through business events in the UK and worldwide. Through its Liberalisation of Trade In Services (LOTIS) Committee, IFSL brings together government and the industry to work for the removal of barriers to trade in financial services.
Its chairman, as of August 2005, is Lord Levene of Portsoken. Its president is HRH The Duke of Kent.
