Brexit more painful for UK than EU: Danish Central Bank governor
GOVERNOR of Denmark's central bank, Lars Rohde, says Britain's decision to leave the European Union will cause the UK more problems than it will the remaining 27 members in the bloc, Bloomberg reports.
"It's fair to say that it's difficult to forecast what the development will be, going two, three, four years ahead," Mr Rohde said in an interview in Copenhagen recently.
"But we should also take into account that, although Britain is a very important country, the impact on the overall European economy is limited. So most of the impact will come to the British economy."
The post-referendum reality of Britain's decision to quit the EU is already shaping the UK's agenda, with Prime Minister Theresa May acknowledging that formal talks to leave the bloc can't start this year. Her government's main headache is trying to reconcile a wish to restrict the free movement of people with a desire to maintain trade relations.
So far, the British labour market has shown some resilience, with UK unemployment staying at an 11-year low in the three months through July. But the longer-term fallout may be rockier. A study of the 2008-2009 crisis suggests the full impact of Brexit has yet to feed through.
