It was said that Brexit would mark a turning point for the City. That London would cease to be the great financial capital of Europe. That job losses and the relocation of entities to the continent would become the new normal. We were told that cities like Frankfurt, Paris or Amsterdam would become the new kings of European finance. Even Madrid set up its own office to attract financial institutions from London.
