Brexit is a cause for concern as negotiations seem close to a no-deal, the former head of the Eurogroup told CNBC on Thursday.
The U.K.’s exit from the European Union, scheduled to occur in March, is at a critical moment as negotiators try to conclude talks before November.
But deep differences, on issues such as the Irish border, have raised doubts about whether an agreement will be reached.
“I am very worried about the outcome of the Brexit process. We seem to be heading towards a no-deal situation,” Jeroen Dijsselbloem, who led the group of 19 euro zone finance ministers for five years until January, said.
“Even if there is a deal… the worst the trade deal is, the more the impact will be on the financial services sector relations between the City (of London) and the EU,”
