The U.K.’s decision to leave the European Union is likely to diminish London’s role as a global financial center and may create opportunities for Euronext NV to win Chinese business, said Chief Executive Officer Stephane Boujnah.

“Post-Brexit, there is more uncertainty about the future of relationships between the U.K. and continental Europe,” Boujnah saidBloomberg Terminal in a Bloomberg Television interview on Thursday.
