Assessing the economic implications of Brexit

A referendum on European Union (EU) membership will take place on the 23 June 2016 in the United Kingdom. If the British public vote to leave, so-called ‘Brexit’ will have wide-scale implications for businesses across the industrial spectrum. Being prepared for the impact of this eventuality on business operations is critical for business and trade leaders.

Oxford Economics has completed a quantitative research study to provide the information you need to be prepared. Using our world-class global economic model, with full analysis and data sets available for nine alternative Brexit scenarios, it addresses what had been, until now, a major gap due to research that has either been limited in scope or designed to support a pre-conceived political agenda.

The study represents a substantial assessment of the implications of Brexit for economic activity in the UK and the rest of the world.
