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.

He’s a fraud. Anyone can look at his history. It reeks like a week old homicide scene at EU headquarters.

Yeah, I’ve been watching him since the primaries. He was quick to crriticize Trump.

And when he started posting pro-globalist anti-brexit articles, it became more than obvious who Berlin_Freeper is working for.

Total BS. GB has not left the EUROPEAN yet, and economic indicators lag by months if not years.

< They base their conclusion on one opinion survey (purchasing managers’ index) - no economic data.

That's what lleftists do. Make up their mind based on feelers, not facts, especially when they're pushing an agenda.

Agreed. BS. I saw that property/home values are up...unsurprisingly. There is no way in hell Britain will be worse off. The EU is a broken system that hasn’t worked....we see that every day.

This is a temporary situation related to the transient nature of Brexit. On the longer term, Britain's economy will improve substantially.

The US stock market went down with the Brexit, but has not only recovered but hit new highs.

Great Britain cannot be far behind. Given an administration change in the USA from Democrat to Republican, Great Britain will reach new highs in economic growth.
