Brexit - The Benefit of Hindsight

In Brexit - The Benefit of Hindsight Industry expert Peace E.  Ani presents readers with an illuminating analysis of the likely economic impact of Brexit.

It's three years on from the most important referendum vote in a generation (the last such an important referendum vote was the first European Referendum in 1974) there have been many different Brexit Secretaries, several rejected deals, much debate that has generated more heat than light, yet the fundamental question remain, according to the author, what, exactly, does Britain want from Brexit?

Some people claim that the financial sector in the UK will be most at risk, which would have a knock on impact on the rest of the British economy.

Despite being able to access the Single Market, a substantial proportion of the financial services industry actually voted to leave.

The author points out that, far from being informed by xenophobia or anti-immigration sentiments, recent research indicates hat the leave vote was based on a rational analysis and assessment of the costs and the benefits of continued EU membership for Britain. As for the financial sector this was also influenced by "post-crisis regulatory reform."The industry, points out Peace E.  Ani, was disproportionately impacted by Brexit due the "divergence of business models within the industry, based on the relative reliance on domestic, international or European trade."

As a financial services professional with in excess of 15 years' experience in the industry, Peace E. Ani is well placed to ask these very important questions and posit some answers to them.

Questions such as: What does the UK want from Brexit? will our economy suffer? Or could there be some benefits for Britain in a post-Brexit world?
