UK 'becomes top financial centre'

The UK has overtaken the United States to be ranked as the World's leading financial centre, despite doubts about its economic stability.
The rankings, compiled by the World Economic Forum (WEF), put the UK top of the list of the 55 most financially- developed countries.
The US slipped from first to third place, behind the UK and Australia.

But in stability rankings, the UK and US were 37th and 38th, below Mexico and Panama and only just above Venezuela.
Norway, Switzerland, Hong Kong and Chile led the financial stability rankings, while Argentina, Kazakhstan and Ukraine were at the foot of the table.
The ranking system takes into account 120 variables, including the size and depth of capital markets.
