Barclays Plc could shift its European headquarters to Paris from Dublin. “We are exploring a potential move of our EU headquarters from Dublin to Paris,” the bank’s Irish subsidiary said in a report published Thursday. “This would be an intra-EU, technical change to our operating model, and would have no impact on the group’s UK activities with regards to employment, business activities or revenue.” The London-based bank, which employs roughly 300 staff in Paris, has already said recently it’s planning to add about 200 more people by 2026. With a growing headcount, Barclays is poised to move into a bigger office in Paris by the end of next year: a 11,000-square-meter (118,400 square feet) facility on Avenue Hoche near the Arc de Triomphe, close to its current 6,000-square-meter premises.
