French bankers facing pressure to return home amid Brexit fears

Paris

WHILE most London-based bankers are brushing up on their German to prepare for a move to Frankfurt post-Brexit, senior staff at French investment banks expect to say "Oui" to government pressure to bring jobs home to Paris.

Most international banks in London have declared where they will move their European business in the event of a "hard" Brexit, in which the UK would give up access to the single market, including financial passporting rights.
