Amsterdam after Brexit a place for quotations of European companies
On December 31, 2020, the transition period for the United Kingdom to leave the European Union ended. This means that as of the new year, the UK countries are treated as third countries that are not subject to European regulators. The current situation could complicate transactions for major European investors. Therefore, after brexit, Amsterdam is considered the preferred listing location for international investors.
