LONDON - Britain’s finance ministry wants more ambitious diversity targets at financial firms as the pace of hiring women to top jobs is too slow, a review said on Tuesday.

A Women in Finance charter was launched in 2016 by the finance ministry in a bid to improve diversity in the financial sector where just 14% of executive committee members were women in 2015. A review by New Financial think tank of 187 of the firms found that only a third have met or exceeded their own targets.

“I am determined to see the financial services sector make progress on this,” Britain’s financial services minister John Glen said in a statement.
