Assignment: International Banking & Insurance

Project

A. Project background

On the 23 June 2016 in the referendum the people of the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union. This result shattered both political and economic landscape of Europe and the World. However, from formal point of view the process of leaving does not seem to be an easy task. Furthermore, until the UK uses required procedural steps the process does not formally start. Experts assumed that the whole process of "divorce" might not end until 2020.

B. Project question
