A bit of context is needed sometimes. Nobody said it doesn't matter, but it is far from the be all and end all that the Brexit debate might lead some people to believe.rjsterry said:

I'm waiting for the 2021 stats tbh. It is worth remembering that the City's main opportunities lie outside the EU, given that the EU only represents around 13% of the global economy (and shrinking).

It's a fascinating insight into the writing of these ONS reports to see the same thing being referenced to explain completely opposite movements.
Q1: https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/nationalaccounts/balanceofpayments/articles/theimpactsofeuexitandcoronaviruscovid19onuktradeinservices/july2021Financial services have seen growth in exports to EU countries of £0.08 billion (1.4%) and a reduction in imports from EU countries by £0.57 billion (35.2%) in Quarter 1 2021 compared with Quarter 1 2019.
As part of the TCA, administrative barriers and limitations faced by EU and UK investors, service suppliers and business travellers are kept to a minimum. This may encourage trade in services and may have contributed to the growth in financial services exports to the EU.
Q2:
https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/nationalaccounts/balanceofpayments/articles/theimpactsofeuexitandcoronaviruscovid19onuktradeinservices/november2021In Quarter 2 (April to June) 2021, trade in financial services declined for both exports and imports by £1.5 billion (negative 9.7%) and £0.3 billion (negative 6.3%) respectively compared with Quarter 2 2019. Non-EU exports increased £0.5 billion (5.1%) and imports £0.01 billion (0.4%) since Quarter 2 2019, whereas EU exports and imports declined £2.0 billion (negative 30.6%) and £0.3 billion (negative 21.3%) respectively.
This fall in financial services trade with the EU is partly because of EU exit-related rule changes, with the UK-EU Trade and Co-operation Agreement (TCA) containing limited provision for access in financial services.

Yes, it is on a par with thinking that business is going to go to Frankfurt or Dublin.rick_chasey said:Also the idea that your Far Eastern business is going to go to London and not say, HK or Singers, or your American business is going to go to London and not somewhere in New York or Chicago or LA.

I have no idea how it works so maybe somebody could tell us if a company in Mexico looking for bank/lawyer/consultant is as likely to turn to London as a company in Holland.Stevo_666 said:

Not really, no. A few bods perhaps, but I would only go to Frankfurt or Dublin if I was working on something specific to those countries, and I'd expect it to be hard work.rick_chasey said:

Talking 5-10 senior hires. Categorically will not open it in London. Regardless of the talent pool. Compliance says a big fat no.
That is a common theme since Jan last year.
They'll open anywhere within the EU, depending on who the best candidate is to lead it. But not London.0 -

This is actually really good. Basically a politics professor at Cambridge has a subbie to Cummings' blogs and gives us what he's learned.
Really interesting.

Outrage in NI this morning as it's confirmed the government will be changing the rules to allow MPs to sit as MLAs and vice versa.
Clear benefit to the DUP as it means Jeffrey Donaldson can run as an MLA without risking a potentially risky Upper Bann Westminster by-election.

As a side note, it had been noted how quiet the DUP had been on partygate.“New York has the haircuts, London has the trousers, but Belfast has the reason!0 -
