Impact of Brexit on economy ‘worse than Covid’ | BBC News
“The impact of Brexit on the UK economy will be worse in the long run compared to the coronavirus pandemic, the chairman of the Office for Budget Responsibility has said. Richard Hughes said leaving the EU would reduce the UK’s potential GDP by about 4% in the long term. He said forecasts showed the pandemic would reduce GDP ‘by a further 2%’. “In the long term, it’s the case that Brexit has a bigger impact than the pandemic”, he told the BBC.”
