» Selon une étude du Centre for European Reform, publiée en juin, « le Brexit a entraîné une baisse de 12 % des exportations britanniques vers l’UE et réduit de 16 % les importations de l’UE ».

‘If you rejoin the European Union, there'll be an economic boom,’ says Charles Grant, director of the Centre for European Reform.

“In the short term I’m quite gloomy. I think the summit which was supposed to happen in November may not happen at all,” Charles Grant, director of the Centre for European Reform think-tank told a fringe event. “Unless someone is willing to compromise there may not be a summit at all this year, I hope I’m wrong on that.”

The lesson here is that once an industrial ecosystem has been lost to China it is extremely difficult to rebuild, argues Sander Tordoir, the chief economist at the Centre for European Reform.
“European governments have to think very carefully about ecosystem effects,” he adds.
...China has been able to build “massive industrial capabilities in the lower rungs of clean tech”, he says, before moving into the “higher rungs of the value chain”.

Sander Tordoir, chief economist at the Centre for European Reform, noted that many EU countries might seek to “roll out some fiscal cushions” for citizens and firms if energy prices remain elevated this winter.
“My general sense is that, other than Greece and Italy, the bond market rather than the EU fiscal rules are the first concern,” Tordoir said, adding that many countries are already “flying close to the sun” in fiscal terms.
