Re: Fingers crossed
Yes, but the important thing for a financial centre is its *global* status. Not Big Fish in a Small EU pond. Sorry and all that, but this is just delusional.
Here’s a list, compiled of the views of the World Bank, OECD etc
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Financial_Centres_Index
Note how London is #2, and has barely shifted since Brexit.
Paris wouldn’t even be the in the top 3 of US centres. *After* it climbed 15 places to #12.
Frankfurt has *dropped* 5 places, and is now outranked by Seoul.
Edinburgh(!) outranks all but three EU national capitals of the EU.
Get a grip, dude.
