By , 5 Jul 16
Is London’s spot as the number one financial hub threatened and which financial centres will benefit the most from the United Kingdom’s decision to leave the European Union?
PA gathered views from the Mayor of London and three industry figures.
In a keynote speech to top business leaders on Tuesday, Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London, addressed how important it is to protect London’s business world.
And passporting rights are on top of the list. “Financial services are central to London’s economy and, having spoken to numerous executives and entrepreneurs in the last week, it is clear that passporting rights, access to the single market and visas are top of the list of what London businesses demand from any exit negotiations,” Khan told Portfolio Adviser.
“I am also reassured that business leaders are looking at the referendum result pragmatically, taking important decisions about their futures in a clear and calm manner,” he added.
