PODCAST: HOW WILL THE UK USE FINANCIAL SANCTIONS IN A POST-BREXIT WORLD?

On 18 February, a Brookings Institute podcast consisted of an interview of Tom Keatinge, director of the Centre for Financial Crime and Security Studies at the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI).  Keatinge explains how London currently cooperates with other major financial sectors around the world – like France, New York, and Hong Kong – in financial regulations and creating sanctions regimes, and how that relationship may change during the Brexit transition period between now and December 31.
