There is an article on Bloomberg (HERE) about Amsterdam starting an attempt to lure away some very specific types of financial trading like clearing, financial technology and high frequency trading
that it believes it is most suited to.
Kajsa Ollongren, the Dutch city’s deputy mayor in charge of economic affairs, said, "Within that financial sector, there are parts, niches, clusters that will move to Europe and for which Amsterdam is really good,” She admitted they are not going to get all the big banks over to Holland. This is exactly the death by a thousand cuts that will damage The City over the next few years.
A survey by The Centre for Financial Studies at Frankfurt's Goethe University (Bloomberg HERE) found that "securities trading in Frankfurt will probably experience an upswing in the wake of Britain’s decision to leave the EU, with Germany’s banking capital emerging as one of the main beneficiaries in the changing landscape".
