London mayor Sadiq Khan will “put pressure on the government” to work with the European Union and deliver a post-Brexit equivalence deal for financial services.

“The final Brexit deal was effectively a no-deal Brexit for finance, with the needs of the sector at the heart of our global competitiveness side-lined,” Khan wrote in CityAM. “This was a major mistake and I will continue to put pressure on the government to work constructively with the EU towards new agreements on regulatory equivalence.”
