New York seen as world's top finance centre, surpassing London due to Brexit

Brexit is hindering London’s efforts to compete with New York as the world’s top financial centre.

The UK capital is viewed as the world’s leading hub by 31% of financiers, down from 34% last year, according to a survey of 250 financial services executives by advisory firm Duff & Phelps. Some 60% of senior decision-makers view New York as the top financial centre, up from 56%.
