Has Brexit Really Harmed UK Trade? Countering the Office for Budget Responsibility’s claims, a new paper contradicting assumptions by examining UK post-Brexit trade, by trade economist Catherine McBride, has been featured in The Daily Mail.
The article read:
“If Brexit were a major disrupter of UK trade, we could expect to see a divergence between UK trade with EU destinations and UK trade with non-EU destinations. This is not the case.
“While the data is still emerging and longer-term effects are as-yet unknowable, there has been no real disparity between UK trade with EU and non-EU countries. Nor has there been a sharp fall in UK–EU trade either at the aggregate or sector level.”

The paper has also been featured in The Sun (print, pg. 2), Lancashire Times, MSN, and Yahoo!.
