Snapshot of Eurozone inflation falls to 5.5% in sharp contrast to UK. Economists put reason for divergence down to Brexit and Britain’s energy price guarantee.
Brexit is the gift that keeps on giving.
Did Austria, the Netherlands and Sweden brexit as well?
Edit. Why is it ok to compare UK to average of the Eurozone but not to the countries with high inflation? Double standards methinks
Literally the first paragraph says “economists put it down to brexit”. But I’m sure you had enough of experts.
and Britain’s energy price guarantee
And you’re ignoring the second half of the first paragraph?
Why?
Not ignoring it. Of course there are other factors. But brexit is definitely a factor. Therefore: Brexit, the gift that keeps on giving.
I work in agtech, brexit is a gift, it’s caused disruption that’s a great catalyst for investment in regenerative and vertical farming
Problems are opportunities
Wage growth is also high as a result of the labour squeeze that brexit is partially affecting
That seems suitably vague.
be specific, what can you do now that you couldn’t have done in the EU and why has that caused more investment that wouldn’t have happened anyway?
The CAP is an environmental disaster. The UK has now created its own agriculture policy that does not subsidise production. This was not possible whilst in the EU.
I know we’ll not regain the special privileges we had and will need to eventually move toward the Euro but good lord we should be rejoining the EU posthaste.
You do realise that Germany and Italy are in a literal recession right now, with negative growth rather than slowing growth? I don’t think that’s Brexit.
