Abstract

The chapter looks at the economic impact of Brexit, both immediately and as hypothesized in the longer term. This is combined with a review of the state of the British economy since 2010. We look at the impact of the Quantitative Easing programme deployed by the Bank of England, the impact of the plunge in sterling since the Referendum and the issues surrounding low-negative interest rates.
