Financial services firms have secured “not as much” access to European markets “as we would have liked” in the Brexit trade deal, the British Prime Minister Boris Johnson revealed today.

The UK and European Union on 24 December agreed the terms of their future trading arrangement, just a week before the two were set to officially transition into Brexit.
