REUTERS/Toby Melville**\n\n \n\n**LONDON (Reuters)** – As few as 630 UK-based finance jobs have been shifted or created overseas with just six months to go before Brexit, a far lower total than banks said could move after Britain’s surprise vote to leave the European Union, according to a new Reuters survey.\n\nMany bankers and politicians predicted after the June 2016 referendum that leaving the EU would prompt a mass exodus of jobs and business and deal a crippling blow to London’s position in global finance.\n\nBut as Brexit Day nears, the number of jobs that UK-based financial institutions say they expect to move in the event of a “hard” Brexit was around 5,800, just 500 more than the last survey in March, and with more firms responding. That compares to around 10,000 in the first survey in September 2017.\n\nBy [Andrew MacAskill](https://uk.reuters.com/journalists/andrew-macaskill), [Simon Jessop](https://uk.reuters.com/journalists/simon-jessop), [Carolyn Cohn](https://uk.reuters.com/journalists/carolyn-cohn)\n\n "}
