Barclays to Move Ahead With Relocation of European Base to Paris

By Elena Vardon


The headquarters of Barclays's European operations are now in the process of being moved to Paris from Dublin after a review.

Barclays Europe kicked off formal legal and regulatory processes to relocate to France in a move that "will enhance oversight and governance by bringing decision-making closer to the majority of its investment-banking operations in continental Europe," the group said Wednesday.

The British bank will keep running its corporate-banking and private-bank businesses in Ireland from Dublin, it added.
