Morgan Stanley to decide on Brexit staff moves early this year

"We'll be making decisions very early this year. What the politicians don't understand is these are people," Colm Kelleher told a conference in Dublin, in reference to Britain's planned exit from the European Union in March 2019.

Asked if the bank would need to know by the end of March the terms of the transition agreement that will ease Britain out of the bloc, Kelleher said that was "pretty fair" and that the size of any moves would depend on the shape of the Brexit deal.
