New Book about Brexit shows Britain needs single market and faces trade risks

Thursday 17 November, 2016

An
informative new book “Understanding Brexit Options: What future for
Britain?” will be published next Monday 21st November.

The author, David Kauders, is an investment manager who has contributed articles on financial topics to British newspapers, including the Daily Telegraph, Sunday Telegraph, The Observer and Investors' Chronicle. His other books are:


The
Greatest Crash: How contradictory policies are sinking the global
economy


Bear
Markets: When finance turns upside down

The
book explains the main options clearly and analyses their effects.
The author finds that 12.9% of the British economy is exported to the
other 27 EU member states, but each of those countries on average
sends only 3.1% of their economic output to Britain. The belief that Britain will get a good trade deal is mistaken; the other 27 EU
member states are far less dependent on exports to Britain than
Britain is on exports to the EU.

There
are four crucial questions about trade that need proper
investigation:


                  1. What
                    estimated value of trade, including services, will Britain
                    gain over 5, 10 and 15 years after exit day?

                  2. What
                    estimated value of trade, including services, will Britain
                    lose over the same time-periods, including losses from 56
                    trade agreements with non-EEA countries that will also be
                    severed?

                  3. How
                    long will it take to implement the new and therefore how
                    long will Britain’s economy be depressed before any
                    improvement occurs?

                  4. Is
                    there a break-even point at which the expected cumulative
                    gain exceeds the cumulative loss? If so, how many years will
                    it take to reach break-even?


The
final chapter includes a decision tree to help individuals assess the
different Brexit options.
