Brexit cost UK economy 6 percent of output

New Bank of England analysis using company-level data estimates Brexit has cost the UK economy 6% of its total output — a figure significantly larger than most previous estimates. The research models how much the UK would have grown had it remained in the EU, placing a concrete price tag on the decade-long political project. The finding lands as the UK government navigates a post-Brexit trade reset with the EU.
