LONDON (Reuters) – Britain’s government is committed to doing whatever it can to keep its financial sector globally competitive after Brexit, financial services minister John Glen said on Tuesday.
Glen said there must be a “clear plan” to maintain the UK financial sector’s global success as it cannot be taken for granted. “It would be a tragedy if we lost our competitive advantage by accident,” Glen told a TheCityUK conference.
