FINANCE industry experts are working on plans to promote cooperation between sector players in Scotland and Ireland following the Brexit vote. They have established the Scottish Irish Finance Initiative to help identify ways the industries in both countries can work together amid the challenges that may follow the vote for the United Kingdom to leave the EU. Areas of interest include the potential to build on the expertise in financial technology developed in both countries. Daniel Broby of Strathclyde university’s Centre for Financial Regulation and Innovation, is a director of the initiative. He said: “By concentrating on our strengths, lining up two English speaking centres that share a similar legal system ... Scotland and Ireland can turn challenges into advantages.”
