Britain was under "no illusions" that a post-Brexit "steady state" has been reached, in terms of banks settling on locations for their European operations, Katharine Braddick, head of financial services at Britain's finance ministry told an event held by the Peterson Institute for International Economics.Banks in London face pressure from the European Central Bank to relocate staff and activities to the EU.
Euro share and swaps trading has moved from London to Amsterdam, and Brussels wants clearing to follow. Bankers have told Reuters they want the finance ministry to set out a clear, long-term plan for the City and speed up proposed reforms. The Brexit experience is seen by industry as threatening predictability in business decision-making, she said.
Or Brexit bonus.
So apparently this was a bad decision?
