Federal Trust Video: Brexit and the City of London: April 2021 Update
19 April 2021
Our Council member Graham Bishop provides an update on the Brexit ‘hit’ to the City of London, following his recent and well-received blog and video conversation with the Director of the Federal Trust, Brendan Donnelly, on “Brexit: Ending the City’s Dominance of European Finance?”.
In In this April video update, he discusses:
- Equity, derivatives, bonds
- Equivalence – already in the dustbin of history?
- The famous MoU – does it achieve anything significant?
- English law and securities – remarkably boring but may turn out to be vital
- ‘Kind strangers’ needed to fund the biggest (even before the Brexit hit!) current account deficit amongst major countries.
