I extend my warm greetings to readers of this investment guide, published by BritishAmerican Business Inc (BABi).

The United States and the United Kingdom have many things in common, including the same orientation to trade and investment. Our common commitment to free trade and fair competition is at the heart of our prosperous economic partnership.

The trade and investment between our two countries highlight our truly special relationship. The combined, two-way trade and investment relationship between the US and the UK amounts to more than $600bn annually. This relationship enriches both of our countries and their citizens.

In addition, more overseas visitors travel to the US from the UK than from any other country. The personal connections formed as a result are at the heart of the numerous trade and investment transactions that take place every day between our two countries.

Through its offices in New York and London, BritishAmerican Business Inc serves as a valuable resource to foster and encourage commercial transactions that are a prime example of the close transatlantic business relationship between the US
and the UK.

I am certain that BABi’s new publication will be another valuable resource that will help strengthen our commercial partnership and expand the US/UK trade and investment relationship.
