First this<\/a> from the BBC:<\/p>\n

Large banks are getting ready to relocate out of the UK early next year over fears around Brexit, the British Bankers’ Association (BBA) has warned.<\/p>\n

Writing in The Observer, its boss Anthony Browne also says smaller banks could move operations overseas by 2017.<\/p>\n

“Their hands are quivering over the relocate button,” he wrote. Most banks hadbacked the UK remaining in the EU.<\/p>\n

Mr Browne also said the current “public and political debate at the moment is taking us in the wrong direction.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
