FRANKFURT AM MAIN, , (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 25th Aug, 2017 ) - The expected mass exodus of UK-based bankers because of Brexit could bring up to 100,000 new jobs to Germany's Frankfurt region over the next four years, according to a study published Friday.
The report, commissioned by the Frankfurt Main Finance lobby group, comes as Germany's financial hub has taken an early lead in the battle for the spoils of Brexit. The study by the WHU-Otto Beisheim school of Management said 10,000 new banking jobs are expected to flood into Frankfurt as a result of Britain's decision to leave the European Union, and this would have a multiplying effect on other sectors.
"New bank employees will increase demand for housing, infrastructure and transportation, education, healthcare, consumer goods, food, and so on," the researchers said.
Working from the expectation that the initial "Brexit shock" will bring 10,000 banking jobs, and assuming economic growth rates remain stable, the study calculated that at least another 21,300 non-banking jobs would be created in the city of Frankfurt alone.
Under its most "optimistic scenario", Frankfurt and the surrounding Rhein-Main region, which includes towns as far as 80 kilometres (50 miles) further south, could see a boom of nearly 88,000 additional jobs, the study found.
"As the Brexit effect is permanent, the non-financial employment effect will also be long-term," the authors added. Many UK-based financial firms are looking to move certain operations to eurozone cities as they risk losing their "passporting rights" to do business with clients in the EU once Britain definitively quits the bloc in March 2019.
