Economists still gloomy on post-Brexit economy
The majority of economists remain gloomy about Britain’s economic prospects outside the EU, with the recent conclusion of withdrawal negotiations having done little to reassure them that Britain will be able to maintain sufficiently close trade links with the bloc after Brexit.
Two years ago, three-quarters of economists surveyed in the annual FT poll said they thought Brexit would harm Britain’s medium-term economic prospects. A year later, 40 per cent had become even more pessimistic, while almost half had maintained their level of pessimism.
Events during the past year have done little to brighten their outlook. Nearly two-thirds of the 107 respondents who answered the question in this year’s FT poll — which was fielded between 8 and 26 December 2017 — said they felt the same as they did a year before. Less than one-in-five said they felt more optimistic.
