Policy breakfast on the competitiveness of the UK post-Brexit

The huge majority won by Boris Johnson and the Conservatives last month provides clarity that Brexit will almost certainly go ahead at the end of January - but what Brexit looks like, what it means for financial services, and what it means for the future of regulation and supervision in the UK remains as unclear as ever.

This breakfast will effectively be a brainstorming exercise to feed into a big report we are publishing in a few months on the future of UK and European capital markets in a global context.

Some of the key issues for discussion will be:

• Which aspects of the UK / EU framework today act as a drag on competitiveness?

• What scope is there to redraw that framework to improve competitiveness?

• What would you like to change and why?

• What are the most obvious big levers to pull?

• What will be the political constraints?

Some of the topics may include: tax, supervision and regulation, immigration, investing in infrastructure, trade promotion, and institutional reform in government.
