Banks Plan Post-Brexit Employee Re-Deployment

The video discusses the potential relocation of banks from London to other European cities post-Brexit. Dublin is highlighted as a key destination due to its English-speaking environment and existing bank presence. Fragmentation across Europe means no single city will emerge as a dominant financial center, allowing London to retain some of its status. Challenges include lack of infrastructure and regulatory capacity in other cities. The number of bankers moving is uncertain, with estimates varying widely. Future moves depend on UK Government negotiations and banks' need to assure clients of continued business operations.
