GlobalData’s “Summary of Brexit Forecasts” provides an overview of third party forecasts for the short- and long-term impact on the UK’s GDP of leaving the EU, based on different scenarios for the final settlement negotiated by the UK. It also summarizes third party forecasts for the impact on the GDP of EU member states, the US, and China.
The UK’s decision to leave the EU has sparked considerable uncertainty over the short- and long-term impacts on the UK economy. In the run-up to the referendum, a number of organizations, including banks, government departments, and think tanks, produced forecasts that attempted to model the impact of Brexit on the UK’s GDP. GlobalData has compiled these forecasts to act as guide for your own planning and decision-making.
The brief offers insight into –
– The short-term impact on the UK’s GDP while the UK negotiates its departure from the EU.
– How the longer-term impact on the UK economy will vary depending on the level of access it retains to the Single Market.
– The knock-on effect on the GDP of the remaining EU member states, the US, and China.
Scope
Analysis by HM Treasury shows that the UK is likely to enter a recession encompassing four successive quarters of negative growth during 2016-17. Inflation and unemployment will rise, while real wages and house prices will fall. Under the “shock” scenario, GDP will be 3.6% below the baseline forecast by 2018, and 6.0% lower under the “severe shock” scenario.
According to the International Monetary Fund’s “limited” scenario, where the UK assumes membership of the EEA, consumer and producer confidence remain relatively unaffected, with GDP predicted to be 1.4% below baseline by 2012. Under its “adverse” scenario, negotiations fail, leading to the UK defaulting to WTO trading rules. Here, the UK’s GDP will be 4.5% below baseline by 2021.
BertelsmannStiftung has forecast the impact of EEA- and WTO-type deals for the wider EU economy. Under both scenarios, Ireland will suffer the greatest impact, due to it having the strongest trading links with the UK.
