Andrew Bailey on banks in a Brexit:

  • London has no 'God-give' right to remain top banking centre in event of Brexit
  • EU banking 'passport' matters a lot to foreign banks in UK
  • Foreign banks have 'optionality' on where they do business
  • Having daily conversations with banks over coping with potential Brexit
  • Has contingency pans for sterling foreign currency liquidity for banks
  • UK banks for more resilient than during financial crisis

There's nothing as inflammatory as Carney's recession warning last week but there's a clear, cohesive campaign to stoke as much fear as possible ahead of the vote.
