The forecasted measure that the OBR decided to use to judge the impact was GDP per capita though

[-] Plantee@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I was merely pointing out that GDP is a tool to look at the economy as a whole, but it can not visualise more specific trends or inequalities, let alone those caused by Brexit.

If any have been caused by brexit. 95% of UK companies don't export to the EU after all.

There are definitely effects on the British economy because of Brexit, just alone the loss in confidence in the British economy after the vote and the uncertainty following it.

Yep, a delay in investment. But just a delay, not actually any loss

They are so small they can't be discerned in the figures though. Especially when compared to covid and russian invasion

Not surprising, we make fuck all.

How many import from the EU?

Still in the top ten globally for manufacturing

Yep, plenty import, still do.
