UK is taking advantage of its position as a global financial hub in the EU. It's in the EUs interest to make the UK less attractive for foreign investment.

"UK is taking advantage of its position as a global financial hub in the EU."

I imagine EU courting Switzerland for assuming this role from now on.

No, because Switzerland is not part of the EU - What would be the point of that?

The new economic hub will be Frankfurt.
