Gloomy economists forecast Brexit trouble ahead for the UK?despite getting it wrong last year
3 January 2017
Four in ten leading economists are more pessimistic about Britain's future after Brexit, despite the buoyant economy since the vote, according to a new FT poll. While many are looking to 2017 for a spot of better luck than 2016, UK economists are less optimistic about what the coming year will bring, the annual survey found. The Financial Times asked 122 industry experts to give their predictions for the next 12 months, with the vast majority foreseeing the British economy losing steam in the wake of higher inflation and Brexit uncertainty.
