European Investment Bank President Nadia Calviño discusses the lender’s investment in security defense, tech and energy projects in an interview with Bloomberg TV’s Guy Johnson. She said the UK’s exit from the European Union is partly responsible for the EU’s failure to integrate its capital markets. “We shouldn’t underestimate the importance of Brexit,” Calviño said on Wednesday. “London was Europe’s financial market, and after Brexit we have divided our forces.” (Source: Bloomberg)
