Morgan Stanley eyeing post-Brexit Dublin move

A UK vote in favour of leaving the EU would be the most significant geopolitical event for the Continent since the end of World War II and could prompt Morgan Stanley to move its local headquarters to Dublin or Frankfurt from London, according to the bank’s president Colm Kelleher.

“This will be the most consequential thing post-war we’ve ever seen,” Mr Kelleher said yesterday in an interview on Bloomberg Television.

“Initially, the fall-out can be controlled, but the political ramifications are actually quite profound,” he said.
