脫歐公投之後多家銀行將業務遷出英國

Banks have already begun to take action to shift operations out of the UK, with the governor of France's central bank warning last Saturday that Britain's financial services groups were at risk of losing their right to operate across the EU.

多家銀行已開始採取行動，將業務移出英國。上週六，法國央行行長警告稱，英國的金融服務機構有可能失去他們在歐盟各國經營的權利。

Investment banks have reacted immediately to Britain's referendum result, with some of the City's largest institutions approaching regulators to secure licences and lining up executives to relocate.

在英國公投結果出來之後，一些投行立即做出反應，倫敦一些大型機構開始接觸監管者以取得執照，並安排高管們搬離。

The big US banks — JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Citigroup and Morgan Stanley — have large operations employing tens of thousands of people in the UK. They are now preparing to shift some of this work to cities such as Dublin, Paris and Frankfurt.

美國幾大銀行——摩根大通、高盛、美銀、花旗和摩根士丹利——在英國開辦的業務規模都很大，僱員多達上萬人。所以它們開始準備把部分業務轉移到都柏林、巴黎、法蘭克福等城市去。

Francois Villeroy de Galhau said it was "paradoxical" to allow the City of London to operate by the EU's rules and not be a member of the European Economic Area in the manner of Norway.

法國央行行長弗朗索瓦·維勒魯瓦·德加洛表示，允許倫敦市依照歐盟的規則運營，但它又不是按照挪威的方式運營的歐洲經濟共同體的一員，這實在是很“荒謬”。

Many of the US banks have been quietly bulking up European entities outside the UK to which they can transfer some activities, but most of them still lack sufficient licences to carry out many of the operations they at present run out of London.

許多美資銀行一直在悄悄地擴大英國之外的歐洲業務部門，這使得它們能夠相當迅速地轉移業務。但大多數美資銀行目前仍缺乏在倫敦之外經營許多業務的執照。

"If you don't have a licence outside the UK then you need to start work right away," said the head of investment banking at a large group.

一家大型集團的投行業務主管表示：“如果你沒有英國之外的執照，那麼你需要馬上行動起來，”

Jamie Dimon, JPMorgan chief executive, warned before the referendum that as many as 4,000 jobs could be shifted out of the UK.

公投之前，摩根大通首席執行官傑米·戴蒙警告稱，可能會把至多4000個崗位遷出英國。

Stuart Gulliver, HSBC's chief executive, had said the bank may move as many as 1,000 of its 5,000 UK-based investment banking staff to Paris if Brexit happened. Other UK banks, such as Barclays, Royal Bank of Scotland and Lloyds Banking Group, may also need to strengthen their European presence outside of the UK.

匯豐銀行首席執行官歐智華表示，如果全民公投後英國退出歐盟，匯豐會將大約1000個崗位從倫敦轉移到巴黎。當前匯豐在英國共有大約5000名職員。其他一些英國的銀行，比如巴克萊、蘇格蘭皇家銀行、勞埃德銀行集團，可能也將加強拓展英國之外的歐洲業務。

Jonathan Lewis, head of Japan's Nomura International, which employs about 2,600 staff in London, said it would have to "wait and see" how things unfolded before making any big decisions about its locations or operating structures.

日本野村國際在倫敦也有2600名員工，其主管喬納森·路易斯表示將靜候事情會如何發展，暫不對公司地點和運營結構作出大的變化。
