Head of London's financial district to visit Japan www3.nhk.or.jp
The Lord Mayor of the City of London, the capital's financial district, says he will visit Japan next week to explain the effects of Brexit on Britain's main financial center.
After Britain's vote to leave the European Union, Japanese executives are wondering whether to relocate their operations in the City of London.
Jeffrey Evans told NHK on Monday that the UK's exit from the EU may cause uncertainties, but that the City is determined to remain a leading financial center.
Evans indicated that the City can stay competitive. He noted that the width and depth of what London can offer is considerable and it's not easy to move activities and businesses to other centers.
Evans plans to meet with top executives of Japanese financial institutions and corporations next week to ease their concerns.
He will also visit South Korea and Taiwan.
