The number of new jobs created in the City of London increased by 25% last month compared with a year ago, a new study has found.
Recruitment firm Astbury Marsden said there were 3,220 new posts in February, continuing a trend of recent months.
Mark Cameron, chief operating officer at Astbury Marsden, said: "The confident mood is underlined by the fact that the banks have shrugged off recent emerging market wobbles and remain upbeat about the long-term prospects for developed economies.
"The FTSE 100's recent 14-year high shows that investors' appetite for risk has well and truly recovered."
