BoE: no evidence of slowing activity post-Referendum

[GB9]

I thought international trade deals take years to organise. Surely we will struggle to get that sorted out in the two years article 50 takes? Won't we also be in a weak negotiating position as other countries know we are under time pressure?



Would you mind sharing how you are so sure about that?

Because virtually none of what was threatened has come about.

What sort of things were threatened? Most of the issues I read about would be if we left the EU and that has not happened yet.

Less than a month after non-binding decision and NatWest already warns about negative interest rates.

And similar in Germany as well it seems. Maybe this is the chickens coming home to roost with regard to failed QE and other woes, particularly within the Eurozone.

Wah..I need someone to tell me everything will be ok

No one is forced into any timeframe and those that say we are are just bitter folk.

No, they were threatened if we voted to leave and we are leaving. Any of the bad stuff that was going to happen was scheduled to occur as soon as the vote came through.

It is interesting how people so hate being wrong that they even delight in their own country's suffering

Lots of doom and gloom and lots of warnings.

I thought we had not invoked article 50 at this point, hence we are not leaving at this time?

There will be increased post referendum business for consultants such as KPMG, Forex, Hedge Funds etc, just as the plague increased business for rat catchers and funeral directors. However, the end result will be negative.
