That list is the top 10 exports, I'm sure we sell more than 10 things...Originally posted by CretinWatcher View PostAll of which adds up to about 12% of the economy.
(The largest of those figures is 64 billion, chump change when you consider spending.)
Clearly its not enough since we have a large, growing, record current account deficit.
So you haven't really answered the question either.
To answer your question, we will export what we export now post Brexit, some more, some less, depending on investment, demand and exchange rates.
You could stop fretting, the whole Brexit thing is just something for the markets to panic about, just like when Yellen or Carney farts or coughs during a speech.First Law of Contracting: Only the strong surviveComment

Within five minutes of Chateaux Paddy there is a Brit farmer who sold up in the UK and moved into a disused farm. Local land tax and council tax for him is just over £100 pa, water is free when pumped from the well and tap water is 75p per 1000 litres. He is doing just fine, since brexit he has invited farmer friends to do the same."A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment

You say that but... who will put a stop to this national disaster?
... the 48% will now have to endure the harshest economic growth they've ever known; brutal increases in jobs, and savage influx of disgusting capitalist wealth to pay off the national debts

I'm asking what a plausible model is for the economy going forward.
Given that:
- almost certainly FDI will fall
- almost certainly the current account deficit will rise due to the fallen pound and therefore more expensive imports
- our already low exports may be hit by tariffs.
- we may lose passporting rights for financial servicesLast edited by CretinWatcher; 13 July 2016, 13:04.Comment

You do realise that a lot of them are here ONLY because of access to the single market of EUrope, don't you?
You do realise that the profits of Jaguar - Land Rover, for example, go to India?
Oh well, probably not.Comment
