Banks in London that relocate operations to the euro zone after Brexit are likely to be spared a lengthy entry test by regulators, making it easier for them to shift, according to two officials with knowledge of the matter.
The European Central Bank (ECB) has had many inquiries from British-based banks wanting to come under its watch, prompting it to look at fast-tracking license applications, according to the sources.
It is set to temporarily waive an examination of the financial models that big retail lenders and investment banks use to determine the risk of a default on a mortgage or derivative — as long as the banks meet the standards of British regulators, they said.
Any such decision by the ECB would be chiefly for practical rather than political reasons and would, said one of the officials, aim to minimize disruption to European finance after Britain leaves the EU.
“Resources are limited. We would find a way of doing it (applications) quickly,” said the official, talking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter.
“The European financial system wants to continue to function.”
Such a waiver would nonetheless serve to speed up banks’ relocation plans and help reshape Europe’s financial landscape by expediting the process of Frankfurt, Paris, Luxembourg and Dublin winning business from London. The ECB declined to comment.
Finance executives say privately they expect Brexit to isolate London, currently Europe’s financial capital, and want to establish bases inside the EU from where they can access its market.
Dublin has received 80 such inquiries from financial institutions including banks, according to IDA Ireland, an agency that attracts foreign investment, while about 50 envoys from foreign banks met Germany’s watchdog earlier this year about a possible move.
The final decision in granting a banking license in the euro zone is taken by the ECB, which looks at the strength of a bank’s capital as well as that of its management when it comes to granting approval.
But, according to the sources, it is set to waive the immediate examination of the financial models, which contain the basic assumptions underpinning a bank’s business and are essential to understanding their riskiness — a process that can take more than a year.
The waiver would be based on the principle that the Bank of England’s (BoE) checks are good enough. It would only be a temporary reprieve, however, to smooth the relocation process, and banks would eventually have to face testing of their models. The sources said the period of grace could last several months.
