  1. >More than 7,000 finance jobs have moved from London to the EU as a result of Brexit , down 400 from the total anticipated in December, the consultants EY said on Tuesday. While the total is well down on the 12,500 job moves forecast by firms in 2016, when Britain voted to leave the bloc, more could follow, EY said in its latest Brexit tracker. EY said that new local hires linked to Brexit total 2,900 across Europe , and 2,500 in Britain, where just over 1 million people work in the financial services sector.

  2. Tbf clearinghouses aren’t ready yet and if we are honest, Frankfurt sort of fumbled it, they are way behind schedule.

    That being said London simply offers a different type of financial service that neither Frankfurt, Paris, Berlin or Amsterdam can pounce on, thinking it would be affected by mass exodus is one of those Brexit overreaction things.

  3. New York and London are completely out of scale when talking about the kind of job offered. No way in hell Frankfurt or Paris can get close, it’d be as difficult as founding an Intel/AMD competitor from the scratch – the organizational and experience skill required to set up these businesses is enormous, unless a nuclear war devastates these two cities these services will keep there and that’s it
