Brussels hopes to reap further Brexit rewards after luring Lloyd's
Brussels expects to lure other financial players after convincing Lloyd's of London, the world's largest speciality insurance market, to make the city its post-Brexit European hub.While Lloyd's choice on Thursday surprised some, lower rental prices and its proximity to Britain could help other financial firms choose the multilingual home of the European Union over Dublin, Frankfurt, Paris and Luxembourg.
Lloyd's is expected to move fewer than 100 people, but other insurers needing an EU subsidiary to keep access to the single market after Britain leaves the bloc may follow. Lloyd's has long been a magnet for insurance underwriters, most of which are clustered around its landmark building in the City of London.
"From our contacts with consultancy firms we have learned that several companies are interested in Belgium," a spokeswoman for Belgium's financial sector federation Febelfin said, without specifying which companies or sectors had expressed an interest.
