If you look at germanies target 2 balances (almost certain to become a bsilout of the weaker members in EU) it's hard to believe this. They are now in the hundreds of billions range. These are amounts that supposedly are just a 'technical issue'

GB never joined the Eurozone. So what does Target2 have to do with any of that mentioned in the article?

Wow, a 300 word article referencing "business confidence" falling and that the UK "would have" grown 3% more had Brexit not happened.

Sounds like real rock solid science. I mean it's super simple subtracting a worldwide pandemic effect from business confidence and just calculating brexit's effects on business confidence, cause, you know, you can easily measure hypothetical situations in the future.

Rock solid article.
