Originally posted by AtW View PostThe economy risks grinding to a halt as Brexit panic grips businesses, with new data showing activity slowed sharply in November.
GDP growth could be slashed to just 0.1pc in the final quarter of the year as a result, tumbling from 0.6pc in the previous three months.
The purchasing managers’ index (PMI) from IHS Markit slowed to 50.4 last month, down from 52.2 in October to the worst score since the aftermath of the referendum in 2016. Any score above 50 indicates growth, so this suggests stagnation across the biggest part of the economy.
Economists had expected the PMI to rise to 52.7 in a modest acceleration of growth.
