What's interesting is whilst Shanghai has gone stellar - literally, in these massive buildings which have appeared since I first visited - Beijing has become a much more vibrant and interesting place. A lot more business is done here.

George Osborne
Image
We need to think deeply about whether we can sustain banks that are not only too big to fail, but potentially too big to bail.

George Osborne
Image
The positive news is that the British economy is continuing to grow and is creating jobs. And it is positive news too that at a time of real international instability we are a safe haven in the storm.
George Osborne
Image
I very much support financial education in schools.
George Osborne
