LONDON (Reuters) – South Korean businesses will invest 21 billion pounds ($26 billion) into Britain, the British government said on Tuesday, ahead of the launch of talks over a modernised trade deal between the two countries.
The new investment includes a 9.7 billion pound injection over ten years from South Korea’s Sovereign Wealth Fund into renewable energy and green infrastructure projects in Britain, Britain’s Department for Business and Trade said in a statement.
