英國脫歐首波衝擊將使1萬個金融崗位受影響

Around 10,000 finance jobs will be shifted out of Britain or created overseas in the next few years if the UK is denied access to Europe's single market, according to a Reuters survey of firms employing the bulk of workers in international finance.

路透社對僱傭大量國際金融業務員工的企業進行的調查顯示，若英國未獲準進入歐洲單一市場，未來幾年遷離英國或設在海外的金融工作崗位將約達1萬個。

Frankfurt was by far the most popular destination for the new roles, the survey showed, with Paris a distant second.

該調查顯示，法蘭克福是目前最熱門的新職位落腳點，將排在第二的巴黎遠遠甩在後面。

The results from 123 firms came from the first comprehensive public survey to ask the biggest banks, insurers, asset managers, private equity firms and exchanges in Britain about the specific details of their plans so far in case of a so-called "hard" Brexit.

這是針對金融企業在英國硬脫歐的情況下，有關其具體計劃的首份綜合公開調查。受訪企業共有123家，包括英國最大的銀行、保險公司、資產管理公司、私募股權公司和交易所。

Nearly half of the companies surveyed said they would have to move staff members or restructure their businesses because of Brexit.

近半受訪企業稱，由於英國脫歐，他們將須調走員工或重組業務。

Another third said it would have no impact, and the remainder said they were still deciding on their plans or declined to comment.

另有1/3的企業表示不會受到影響，餘下企業則稱仍在制定計劃或拒絕置評。

The number of jobs to be moved or created overseas was based on answers from 39 companies employing at least 350,000 people. About 1.1 million people work in Britain's financial sector.

將被轉移或在海外新設的工作崗位數量是基於39家公司給出的回覆估算得出的，這些公司的員工總數至少有35萬人。英國金融業就業人數約爲110萬人。

The findings suggest that the first wave of job losses from Brexit may be at the lower end of estimates by industry lobby groups and firms, which could mean London will keep its place as the continent's top finance center, at least in the short term.

調查結果顯示，英國脫歐導致的第一波崗位流失浪潮可能處於行業遊說團體和企業預計區間的低端，這意味着倫敦將保住歐洲最大的金融中心的地位，至少短期內是這樣。

Most respondents said bigger moves of job losses could be in store in a decade or more, however.

不過，多數受訪者表示，更大規模的崗位流失浪潮將可能在10年或更長時間內出現。
