The wealthy are exiting the UK in droves for tax havens such as Monaco, Switzerland and Dubai.

The rising departures of monied residents are prompting an increasing number of European nations to tax their assets before they leave.

High-tax nations across the continent are seeking to slow the departure of rich residents by hitting them with a levy on the value of their assets when they depart. Known as exit taxes, the idea is to make them think twice before leaving — or pay their fair share if they do.

Germany, Norway and Belgium have all expanded exit taxes in recent months or are weighing proposals to do so

And in the UK, Keir Starmer’s Labour administration has faced calls to impose a similar levy to help stem a flood of wealthy residents from the country.

Within Europe, Norway and Germany are two of the strongest proponents of exit taxes. Norway levies unrealized capital gains at as much as 38% and Germany around 27%, in line with regular in-country rates.

What is at stake is the US attempt to control the Middle East and its oil as a buttress of US economic power, and to prevent other countries from moving to create their own autonomy from the US-centered neoliberal order administered by the IMF, World Bank and other international institutions to reinforce US unipolar power.

2003, General Wesley Clark pointed to Iran as being the capstone of seven countries that the United States needed to control in order to dominate the Middle East, starting with Iraq and Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia and Sudan, culminating in Iran.

For decades, the idea of a US-Iran conflict raised the specter of World War III. 

Now Israel has attacked, the US has joined in and the Islamic Republic just aimed its retaliation at the biggest American military base in the Middle East.

Trump went as far as thanking Iran for “giving us early notice,” ensuring the base was evacuated and there were no casualties. The Qatar Stock Exchange closed almost 2% higher

Riksbankschefen Erik Thedéens bedömning om bankernas följsamhet är att konkurrensen tvingar bankerna att vara följsamma med boränteförändringar  

Men på ett annat område fungerar konkurrensen sämre.

”Det är på sparkonton och transaktionskonton som bankerna släpar efter och därmed håller uppe räntenettot”
DI 24 juni 2025


Handelsbankens räntenetto ökade nästan 70 procent till rekordhöga 11,5 miljarder kronor, och SEB:s räntenetto lyfte drygt 60 procent till 11,3 miljarder, jämfört med ett år tidigare.

Ni tjänar jättemycket pengar, ändå ger ni noll i ränta på lönekonto, är det inte rimligt att ge ränta nu?

Tjänsteexporten

Många koncerner har sina huvudkontor i Sverige. Runt 30 procent av all svensk tjänsteexport sker mellan moderbolag i Sverige och deras utländska dotterbolag.
