Le Brexit, une catastrophe économique pour le Royaume-Uni ? « L’adaptation sera douloureuse » René Defossez, économiste chez Natixis en charge du Royaume-Uni « Un Brexit sans accord entraînera nécessairement un choc économique, même si tout le monde s’y prépare car c’est désormais le scénario le plus probable.
Il provoquera une chute de la livre, une poussée inflationniste et une perte de pouvoir d’achat pour les ménages, car les prix des produits importés deviendront plus élevés.

Under the terms of its withdrawal agreement with the bloc, Britain legally left the European Union on Jan. 31, but is now in a transition period that preserves most of the old relationship, and has until Dec. 31 to strike a new deal. European officials, and many in Britain, have already said that timetable was hopelessly compressed. Now, with face-to-face negotiations on hold, analysts said Mr.
Johnson should invoke his right to request an extension so that governments on both sides can concentrate on managing the response to the virus and mitigating the economic shock that is almost certain to follow it.

He underlines that managing liquidity surplus is an exercise requiring econometric skills and robust experience in monetary, financial and economic analyses. The market is not expecting an increase in the Repo Rate, opines Jen Ramanah regarding the forthcoming MPC meeting. When we refer to excess liquidity, it means simply that the level of liquidity has exceeded a threshold. When can we reasonably affirm that a country is facing a liquidity situation? In simple terms, excess liquidity in an economy is a situation where there is more money in the banking system as a whole than is strictly needed. All liquidity available in the banking system that exceeds the needs of banks is called excess liquidity. Le Royaume-Uni dévoile un budget post-Brexit parasité par le coronavirus.
