A study has found they have grown by as much as €200bn (£167bn) since the UK voted to leave the EU in 2016.

The transfers put Ireland in second place behind Germany when it came to the value of assets that were moved from UK to EU banks.

Globally, it pushed Ireland’s international banking sector to the 17th biggest.

‘Influx of assets’
Fiona Gallagher, chair of FIBI and chief executive of Wells Fargo Bank International, said Ireland was now one of the key EU hubs for international banking and capital markets activity.

“Many UK and global banking groups built-up or established new Irish entities to service EU clients post-Brexit,” she said.

“This has seen an influx of new staff, assets, risk management capabilities and investment services activities in Ireland.”

Ms Gallagher also pointed out that in many of the lenders, EU branch networks have also been revised.

This has resulted in the transfer of EU branches of UK entities to new EU entities in Ireland.
