The Amsterdam share business is small fry in the grand scheme of things.More symbolic than costly, and much went to New York too. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2021/feb/11/amsterdam-overtakes-london-as-europes-top-share-trading-centre Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rock The Boat 1,330 Posted February 23, 2021 16 minutes ago, Bill said: "This year, London lost its crown to Amsterdam as Europe’s top place to buy and sell stock, traders have shifted interest-rate swaps out of the U.K. and the relocation of bankers into the bloc continues." Remember, Swindo is the thicko who thinks holiday makers having limits put on what they take back into the UK is............a bonus ! While the figures are large, the overall impact on the City is small. Only a handful of jobs at the exchanges have had to move and the overall tax benefits to Amsterdam from a low-margin business such as trading will be minimal, according to Nick Bayley, a managing director at the consultancy Duff & Phelps. “In terms of jobs, tax revenues, other revenues, the profit and loss accounts and so on being generated in Holland rather than in the UK, it’s marginal. But it is symbolic, of course,” Bayley said. The change can be compared to moving a computer that processes online store orders from one city to another. While the computer has moved, all of its customers and suppliers are still in the same place. Likewise, while share trading has shifted, most of the traders, brokers and asset managers are still in London. “It’s a technological switch or regulatory switch, but it’s not some sort of seismic shift where suddenly people think London isn’t as attractive of a place to do business or London is doomed as a financial centre,” said William Wright, the founder of the New Financial thinktank.

Bill 1,788 Posted February 23, 2021 4 minutes ago, SwindonCanary said: Why Amsterdam isn't going to overtake London as Europe's financial centre after share trading boom (inews.co.uk) you are too thick to even understand what you have posted "The consensus for now seems to be that this development is mostly symbolic" Whereas the consensus of brexiteers last autumn was that there would be no loss Hopes for the future are therefore pinned on the idea that the City can become a home for different types of trading. If this was commercially viable then why has it not been pursued before ? The reality. as with duty free, you haven't the slightest clue about any of this so just bleat out something that might be relevant Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a mildly depressing piece as I think a lot of it is correct. Another part which I fear is quite true. "It is frustrating for remainers who still crave a moment of vindication, when the fraud is proved beyond doubt and the tide of opinion turns. But for that to happen, Brexit would have to be measured in terms of trade and diplomacy. Those aren’t the leavers’ metrics. They long ago swapped economic argument for culture war bluster." 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
