The UK and the European Union signed a long-awaited memorandum of understanding on financial services on Tuesday, marking a moment of accord amid years of wrangling over post-Brexit co-operation.

Jeremy Hunt approved the memo with Commissioner Mairead McGuinness during the first visit to Brussels by a UK chancellor in more than three years. Hunt described the move as an “important turning point,” saying “we have shared objectives and cooperation is essential.”

“The UK and EU’s financial markets are deeply interconnected and building a constructive, voluntary relationship is of mutual benefit to us both,” Hunt said. The UK’s financial services and related professional services sectors were worth £275 billion ($350 billion) in 2022, making up about 12% of the UK economy, according to the Treasury.

Hardly a turning point. A joint EU-UK financial regulatory forum will be established, serving as a platform to facilitate structured dialogue on issues related to financial services – a platform somewhat mirroring what the EC has with other third country jurisdictions such as the US. The EC stated that the MoU does not deal with the access of UK-based firms to the single market – or EU firms’ access to the UK market – nor does it prejudge the adoption of equivalence decisions .
