EU27 financial services policy in the wake of the Brexit decision      

Speaker: Nicolas Véron (Bruegel & Peterson Institute for International Economics)

The UK vote of 23 June will have major implications for the EU27’s future financial services sector. Major uncertainties still abound, but it is not too soon to debate some of the policy choices the EU will face once London, its main current financial hub, leaves its internal market. The likely relocation of significant wholesale financial business from Britain to the Continent will create both risks and opportunities, and call for new directions in EU financial services regulation and supervision.

Speaker: Xavier Vives (IESE Business School, Barcelona)
