Britain’s economy appears to be shrinking at its fastest pace since the global financial crisis as a result of the vote to leave the European Union, but the rest of the region is holding up, surveys showed Friday.
The findings come as global financial leaders meeting in China identified the uncertainty generated by Britain’s decision to exit the EU, the world’s biggest economic bloc, as a key risk to the global economy.
But while the International Monetary Fund has trimmed its world growth estimates, surveys of hundreds of business executives in Europe indicate the economic damage is so far largely contained to Britain.

The UK can expect a few years of uncertainty which might deter new investments.
Britain will do just fine in a short while.
probaly hurting the bankers and elites the rest of the country has already been hurting..let them feel some paid for once
Another memo from the DNC to the MSM: BREXIT (read Trump) is bad.
lol. It’s been three weeks, and they’re already doomed. hey, idiots, what was britains economy doing the day before the brexit vote?
Omelette......meet broken eggs.
This is bullshit. I read an article in the financial press that said the opposite. It really is too early to know.
The terms of the Brexit aren’t known yet. They are to be negotiated over the next two years. My guess that any reduction in trade with Europe will be offset by increases in trade with the US and Commonwealth trading partners.
Mr. Berlin yet again! You sure post some interesting threads.
The last thread you posted claimed the Munich terrorist who yelled Allahu Akhbar had no Islamic ties.
looking sharp Mr. Berlin.
England will be much better off without paying for anti-freedom, anti-Britain, c*cksucking EU bureaucrats. They can negotiate just fine as a sovereign entity with the remaining, crumbling EU.
Brexit was about sovereignty. Well worth having to deal with a few months of uncertainty to attain it.
He’s almost as bad as the ball-less Cameron.
They base their conclusion on one opinion survey (purchasing managers’ index) - no economic data.
While the International Monetary Fund has trimmed its world growth estimates (based on data-fed models), this article tries to convince the gullible that only the UK is falling short - aaaand, also make the logical leap that it is caused by the Brexit vote, just as a sort of assumption.
I don’ go to Seattle to find out what’s going on in Great Britain anymore than I go to The Guardian to find out what’s happening in Dallas.
Looking like a weirdo fanboy, drag.
I bet you got picked on a lot as a kid. Yep.
Seriously?
At least I grew up from being a kid.
