How did London get to be world centre of forex

Apparantly London has 43% of forex market share, as opposed to 17% in the US.

Why is this? How come not US, Germany or Switzerland?

I am from London but don’t have a drum to bang here.

I’m just genuinely interested why this is the case as USA, Japan and Germany all have much bigger economies.

Whut. That’s interesting, I didn’t even know this fact! I wonder if it has to do with regulation?

Hmmm. :thinking: Didn’t expect this tbh. Haha. :open_mouth: Although I could kinda notice that a lot of members here come from countries other than the US :thinking: But it’s weird though cause I can’t seem to find this statistics? :open_mouth:

I’m thinking is it possible that the Brexit had any effect on the interest of English people in forex? :thinking:
