THE UK LEAVING THE EU: Ground Realities for the UK and Implications for the Global Economy

The Vote for Brexit has changed everything in the UK. It has upended UK politics, with careers abruptly ended and new ones started in an orgy of political bloodletting not seen for years. The vote showed that the UK is divided, regionally, by class, education and age. It may lead to the break-up of the Union with Scotland. It can be said that Cameron failed as Prime Minister, leaving a legacy of chaos behind him.

 

It has long term economic implications that will reverberate possibly for decades to come. In the short term, a recession, or sharp slowdown in growth, cannot be ruled out as the UK negotiates its way out of the EU. What impact will its exit have on investment flows, productivity, the exchange rate, and short and long term interest rates? Will the UK find it as easy to fund its deficits (fiscal and trade) as it did when a member of the EU?

 

But it is not all doom and gloom: what are the opportunities?

This talk will focus on what all this means of the UK economy in the short and medium term, and how it could impact financial markets, the real economy, interest rates, investment flows, productivity and the UK’s relationships with the world.
