Paris recently made a bold pitch to woo City of London bankers in the event of Brexit. But, HSBC aside, most banks scoff at the idea that Paris would be a natural venue. Frankfurt, home of the European Central Bank and the financial capital of Europe’s biggest economy, is also problematic.
The local economy minister said this week that several foreign banks had explored moving operations to Frankfurt in recent months.
But, as a small city with a population of less than 700,000 people, Frankfurt is seen as provincial and unpopular with staff. Dublin is English-speaking and attractive on tax grounds, but it is a relative backwater. The most likely outcome is that foreign banks with large operations in London will shift staff to a spread of eurozone locations where they already have operations — including Frankfurt, Dublin, Paris, Warsaw and Lisbon. That would fragment the financial services industry in Europe, potentially weakening the continent’s ability to compete internationally.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

Exactly what have I made up? That Wallonia is in Belgium? You seem to be the only muppet who thinks it isn't.
And as for the article:
"From a European perspective, this would be cutting off its nose to spite its face. It might lead to a few jobs moving to Paris or Frankfurt but it will make it more expensive for companies in France and Germany to raise money for investment, slowing the wider economy."
If you think "a few jobs'" is a mass exodus to the EU then you really are more stupid than NAT.
I wonder what Juncker will offer the Wallonia people to buy them off?Comment

Originally posted by darmstadt View PostBut he didn't say that did he, therefore it's irrelevant what you say. BTW, as I'm actually on the ground in Frankfurt, I can tell that things are already happening here...
The clue was in the article. '...a few jobs'.
Do you read anything else?Comment
