Job vacancies at London’s financial-services companies climbed 19 percent last month as tougher regulation of banks spurred hiring in compliance and anti-money laundering, recruitment firm Astbury Marsden said.

New vacancies in the British capital’s City and Canary Wharf financial districts rose to 2,600 in April from 2,190 in March, the London-based recruiter said in a statement today. It follows a fall in March, when the number of jobs dipped 15 percent from February.
