Recommendation

The conclusion to Brexit has ushered in a period of geopolitical and socioeconomic uncertainty for the United Kingdom and the European Union. Both will have to reckon with new complexities, particularly in trade. While any number of scenarios is possible, ranging from a political breakdown to newfound excellence, economists Ilaria Maselli and Dana Peterson forecast a UK economy enfeebled not only by Brexit but also the coronavirus, with lackluster GDP enduring perhaps throughout the 2020s.

Take-Aways

  • The full consequences of Brexit will play out over the long term.
  • The aftermath of Brexit presents issues for both the United Kingdom and the European Union.
  • The British economy could develop along three different paths over the course of the 2020s.
