    Management Summary

    The number of EU27 citizens living in the UK at the end of 2016 is estimated at 3.35 million
    As we known all along .. too many

    The stock of UK fooktards, bitter Scots and assorted flotsam living in EU 27 countries is substantially less, namely 1,217,000
    according to OECD data
    with substantial numbers in agriculture, retailing, construction, nursing and medicine, home care,.
    Just what we don't need - more low grade migrants

    the atmosphere surrounding immigrants for the EU has become unsettled to say the least, with
    disturbing manifestations of xenophobic tendencies in parts of society.
    Shirley not

    The Central Bank's Chief Economist has told an Oireachtas committee that Ireland stands out as the EU economy likely to be most affected by Brexit.

    Gabriel Fagan told the Special Select Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union that Ireland was more reliant on UK export markets that any other EU country.

    He added that certain sectors - agri-food; materials manufacturing and tourism - rely more upon UK markets than others.

    Mr Fagan said the overall impact of Brexit of the Irish economy is uncertain, and depends on the nature of any new trade agreement.

    In the event of a hard Brexit with no UK-EU trade agreement, Mr Fagan said GDP would fall by 3%.

    Did I say the UK is without problems?

    There is another economic crisis coming, you can smell it on the wind. IMHO the Eurozone are really going to struggle, because of a toxic combination of inertia, rigidity, and ironically a lack of fiscal integration. I wish you luck, I really do.

    You didn't even read the report and decided to repeat the mantra that EU will be worse off than the UK...

    The impact for UK in terms of % of GDP is 11.9% for import and 7.1% for exports. For reference the most impacted EU27 state as a % of GDP - RoI the numbers are at 9% for imports and 6.9% for exports.

    And this is only goods, ignoring Services, where the disparity is much greater.

    But keep dreaming the UK will be less affected than any individual EU27 state

    The remaining is consumables and manufacturing. You then look at what the EU exports to the rest of the world and the UK exports issues suddenly melts away.

    It would be nice to read the British equivalent document written by the government.

    Fairplay to the EU for publishing it.

    Just a hypothesis, but surely our largest EU27 trading partners will disproportionally be impacted through brexit compared to the rest of the EU27?

    An Assessment of the Economic Impact or Brexit on the EU27

    The analysis is good but fundamentally flawed.

    By contrasting the UK to the EU27 it assumes a universal impact to losses to the EU27.

    However we do not trade universally to the EU27 nor do the EU27 with us.

    Just a hypothesis, but surely our largest EU27 trading partners will disproportionally be impacted through brexit compared to the rest of the EU27?

    For example:



    This source suggests Ireland will be most affected (which makes sense) https://www.slideshare.net/mobile/Eu...goods-industry

    For the EU 27, the losses are found to be virtually insignificant, and hardly noticed in the aggregate. By contrast, for the UK, the losses could be highly significant, over ten times greater as a share of GDP.
