Brexit ett faktum, vilka är konsekvenserna?

There is a strong historic correlation between the U.K. and G-7 countries. But they have been diverging since the vote to leave the EU, with the British economy now 3% smaller than it could have been had the relationship been maintained.

The U.K. is finally set to leave the European Union at the end of this month after Johnson’s decisive election victory. But the uncertainty since the 2016 referendum has taken a toll. Business investment in particular has been held back, and annualized economic growth has halved to 1% from 2%.

Dan Hanson, U.K. economist for Bloomberg Economics, puts the total cost of Brexit by the end of 2020 at 200 billion pounds as uncertainty continues to take a toll on companies and consumers.

And what is the cost of the membership bill?
Figures from a House of Commons library document puts the UK’s net contribution to the European Union and European Commission budget between 1973 and 2018 at around £163 billion.

Adding in the estimated net contribution for 2019 this rises to £177 billion.

If the Bloomberg £200bn cost is correct, this is £23bn more than the total cost of membership for the UK’s 45 years as an EU member.
