‘GDP reduced by 8%’ – Nine-year study reveals how Brexit decimated UK economy​

Can't help but feel those responsible for Brexit should not, for example, be riding high in the polls with a new party...​


Brexit had negative impact on GDP, investment, and employment – NBER

According to the National Bureau for Economic Research (NBER), the downwards spiral didn’t just start when Britain formally completed the withdrawal process in 2020, but shortly after the referendum result was confirmed more than nine years ago.

In the aftermath, factors such as ‘elevated uncertainty’ and ‘reduced demand’ put the UK on a path towards disaster. Things have only got worse in the last five years, and the NBER believe that the initial impact assessment actually ‘underestimated’ just how damaging Brexit would be.

Read it and weep…

As per their figures, the UK’s GDP (Gross Domestic Product) had fallen by as much as 8% from where it should be since 2016, with the impact ‘accumulating gradually’ as the years have gone by. Investment into the country is also estimated to have dropped sharply, by roughly 12-18%.


It gets worse. Both employment and productivity have also been severely hampered, with each data set estimated to have been reduced by 3-4% from previous projections within the last decade or so – which might go a long way towards explaining the general malaise Britain is experiencing.

Brexit reset talks stall – as new impact assessment lays impact bare

Keir Starmer and the Labour leadership prioritised a Brexit ‘reset’ in the early days of his premiership – but things have cooled on that front in recent months. As our exile from the EU continues, researchers at the NBER outline how ‘large, negative impacts’ will continue to harm the UK

“Using almost a decade of data since the referendum… These large negative impacts reflect a combination of elevated uncertainty, reduced demand, diverted management time, and increased misallocation of resources from a protracted Brexit process.”


“Comparing these with contemporary forecasts – providing a rare macro example to complement the burgeoning micro-literature of social science predictions – shows that these forecasts were accurate over a 5-year horizon, but they underestimated the impact over a decade.”

Thankfully we already did this debate to death 9 years ago, had a vote and decided. Absolutely no point in debating it now.

Debating it now is all you people want to do when politicians in the here and now want to create closer ties with the EU to try to stop the damage getting even worse. You never want to look at the now, only go on and on and on about what was said and done 9 years ago.

it is clear that you know nothing
 
Since I resigned from the golf club, I have to pay every time I want to play, they won't let me in the members lounge, and I am no longer allowed to attend the AGM to express my views, or to stand for the committee.

Are they trying to make my life difficult?

Yes, they need you more than you need them.

You can play at any golf club. But it means more travelling and costs and different rules
