"I don't think it will totally reverse… It will stall, it might backtrack a bit, it just depends on a lot of things about which we are uncertain and I know there isn't certainty at the moment," the official told the BBC broadcaster, answering a question about London's expansion as a financial center amid the Brexit process.
He added that against the backdrop of uncertainty caused by the possibility of the United Kingdom to lose its access to the EU markets, several businesspeople could reduce their presence in the markets of the United Kingdom itself.
