The U.K. is more attractive for investment than it was before Brexit, a survey of more than 5,000 global chief executive officers found.

The country is now ranked fourth as a growth target for the CEOs, having overtaken India. CEOs from China, India, Canada and New Zealand in particular are increasingly interested in investing in the U.K., according to PricewaterhouseCoopers, which carried out the survey in January.
