Morawiecki in London to lure post-Brexit bankers

Deputy Prime Minister and Development Minister Mateusz Morawiecki will on Thursday start a series of meetings with financial institutions, many of which are considering departing from the UK, a post-Brexit effect. Morawiecki will come prepared with a package of incentives for the City's biggest banks, which according to him, have already contacted the Polish government. The Financial Times has put the Minister on its' cover on Tuesday. "Some of the financial operations will spread across continental Europe…I would like Warsaw to be one of the locations…", Mateusz Morawiecki said earlier in June. According to the FT, he is to meet with the management of  the Royal Bank of Scotland, UBS, Barclays, BNP Paribas, Citibank and Credit Suisse, as well as directors of Schroders, Pimco and BlackRock. Poland is offering grants for new employees and university programs to develop skills in finance and IT required by foreign banks. Paris, Frankfurt, Amsterdam and Dublin are also in the race.
