France Presses EU To End Euro Clearing In London
Business Insider
“Euro clearing operations should be based where euro-system supervision can be exercised. After Brexit, we don’t see how this could be in London” comments the profoundly chauvinist French Central banker François Villeroy de Galhau,whose clear implication is that EU standards are superior to those of Britain, the US and multiple other jurisdictions which recognise London as the world’s largest epicentre for international clearing.
