    London to lose €800bn to Frankfurt as banks prepare for Brexit

    London will lose up to to €800bn (£700bn) in assets to rival financial hub Frankfurt by March 2019 as banks start to transfer business to the German city before Brexit day.

    The lobby group Frankfurt Main Finance released the figure after it was confirmed that 30 banks and financial firms had chosen the city as the site of their new EU headquarters.

    But with several banks – including JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley – planning to spread their operations across a number of cities including Dublin and Paris, the lobby group believes the number of firms committed to expanding or setting up offices in Frankfurt will be closer to 37.

    Ultimately it will mean draining billions of pounds worth of assets from London to companies’ German operations within months.

    That’s just to Frankfurt

    Any contractors from the City who voted Brexit?
