The number of finance jobs to leave London after the UK leaves the EU is thought to be around 5,000, a Reuters survey of 119 international finance firms has found. This is half the number estimated by respondents to the same survey six months ago, with the government's conciliatory tone towards The City and progress in Brexit talks cited as the reasons for the reduced figure.
