New research from Sheffield Hallam University and the University of Doha for Science and Technology has found that Brexit has reduced the City of London’s financial clout. They argued that "until the reset reaches the City, London’s diminished role in European markets looks set to stay."
After Brexit, more than 440 financial firms moved at least some of their operations from the UK to the EU, taking with them more than £900 billion in bank assets – such as business loans, investment portfolios and cash reserves – worth around 10% of the UK’s banking system.
