exile Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 I might have been away when this originally came up - anyone remember any publicity about this, or any follow-up? US banks plan ahead for UK exit from EUWall Street banks are drawing up preliminary plans to move some London-based activities to Ireland to address concerns that the UK is drifting apart from the EU. http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/9b555ed6-25f1-11e4-8bb5-00144feabdc0.html#axzz3DHKs2Q4C The report says: "Ireland’s attractions for US banks include its low corporate tax rate, English speaking population, English-style legal system and eurozone membership." Now, are there any other countries that might sound like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toepoke Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 If we do get independence within the EU it'll be interesting to see if the "banks will move to Scotland" scare story is used by the BBC ahead of the rUK EU referendum...
