Wales has nothing to fear from ‘hard Brexit’

The Welsh Brexit blog aims to inform and encourage constructive debate and analysis on issues relating to Wales and the UK's exit of the European Union. Some critics of Brexit would argue that Wales has far more to lose than any other part of the UK if leaving the European Union means there is no access to the single market. Here, Professor Kent Matthews evaluates the economic implications for the Welsh economy of non-access to the EU single market, and concludes that Wales has nothing to fear from a ‘hard Brexit, and could benefit from lower costs of living.
