It will move, just a question when - certainly within next 10 years, most likely sooner because there is a lot of money to be gained by EU from the move.

Brexit means Brexit...

Deary me, scooty. Understanding something before commenting upon it is an excellent principle. Can you spell "systemic risk"?

BTW, those other Euro clearing centres say hi. As do those various clearing centres for other, non-Euro, currencies

Tory Brexit DOOM™: Bloodbath in the City

Brexit: Stripping London of £800bn clearing business could cost investors £80bn, says London Stock Exchange

Two prominent City of London figures have warned EU leaders about the dangers of stripping London of the lucrative euro clearing trade after Brexit.

A proposed move could cost investors €100bn (£83bn) over five years, Xavier Rolet, chief executive of the London Stock Exchange, said on Monday. Seperately, Michael Spencer, founder of broker Icap described the proposal as, "a real nasty piece of economic nationalism and protectionism".

Clearing is a process whereby trades go through an organisation known as a clearing house which holds collateral centrally and ensures transactions go ahead in the event of a default. It is designed to prevent a domino effect where the default of one counterparty causes a string of losses for others
