Brexit relocations fall, but Dublin top choice

The capital remains the most popular destination for the establishment of new EU offices, with 36 financial services firms announcing intentions to relocate UK operations there

Dublin remains a top Brexit relocation choice for UK financial services firms, but moves are flattening out.

The movement of financial services firms out of the UK in search of an EU base in the aftermath of Brexit has stabilised, but Dublin remains the most popular destination for establishing EU offices, research shows.

New data from EY shows the number of financial services firms moving from the UK to the EU as a result of Brexit, or planning to do so, has flattened out in the past 12 months.
