Brexit: Netherlands talking to 250 firms about leaving UK | Politics | The Guardian

Brexit: Netherlands talking to 250 firms about leaving UK | Politics | The Guardian | Macroeconomics: UK economy, IB Economics | Scoop.it
Dutch government says it has already gained 1,900 jobs from Britain in bid for Brexit spoils
Graham Watson's insight:

Britain's loss is the Netherlands gain - this article highlights the fact that a number of companies have already moved their European HQs from Britain to the Netherlands, and apparently another 250 are also contemplating making the move.

 

It brings new post-Brexit meaning to the phrase 'going Dutch'.

Dyson's move to Singapore could help the UK

Dyson's move to Singapore could help the UK | Macroeconomics: UK economy, IB Economics | Scoop.it
A bigger footprint in Asia could mean more profits for Dyson, and more tax revenues for Britain.
Graham Watson's insight:

I like articles that make you think - and in this instance, Karishma Vaswani has managed to state a case in favour of Dyson moving its HQ from the UK to Singapore.

 

She highlights the fact that greater profits for Dyson are likely to benefit from a move to bigger, faster growing markets, might boost UK tax revenues, and might encourage other UK businesses to make what is likely to be a profitable move.

Barclays shifts billions of pounds to Dublin because of Brexit

Barclays shifts billions of pounds to Dublin because of Brexit | Macroeconomics: UK economy, IB Economics | Scoop.it
The High Street bank "cannot wait any longer" to shift business to Dublin because of Brexit.
Graham Watson's insight:

Nothing for you to see here, officer, according to Barclays. But it's an oligopolistic market, and where one goes, others usually follow.

Dyson to move head office to Singapore

Dyson to move head office to Singapore | Macroeconomics: UK economy, IB Economics | Scoop.it
Two senior executives will move from Wiltshire but no jobs will be lost in the process.
Graham Watson's insight:

Another lovely story given a Brexit slant by many: leading Leave campaigner, James Dyson, is moving the global head office of his company from Malmesbury in Wiltshire to Singapore.

 

However, the company is keen to stress that the move is less to do with Brexit and more to see where they see the biggest opportunities in future.
