Barclays post-Brexit new home; Dublin
Bloomberg reports, "The bank started scouting the city for office space this month and has been in contact with Irish regulators about expanding its operations, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the plans aren’t public. Barclays is moving ahead with contingency plans so it can continue serving EU clients if Prime Minister Theresa May fails to strike a transitional or permanent deal preserving London’s access within the two-year renegotiation period.

The report continues, “We have made clear repeatedly that we will plan for a range of Brexit contingencies, including building greater capacity into our existing operations in Dublin,” the bank said in a statement. “Identifying available office space is a necessary and predictable part of that contingency planning process.” International banks have started to reveal more about their plans to shift jobs and set up new offices within the EU after May indicated last week she’ll pull Britain out of the single market and pursue other arrangements. Financial firms are most concerned about a "cliff edge" Brexit, whereby all access is cut off after two years."
