Brexit talks and British economy at a standstill

Impossible political agenda. No more hard Brexit? Sluggish GDP growth (+0.1%). Pound in wait-and-see mode. Long-term rate adjustment postponed. Caution with regard to equities.

Points clés

  • Brexit talks: more than ever, confusion abounds
  • The European Union rejects London’s proposals
  • A victory for pro-European MPs that eliminates the risk of a no-deal outcome?
  • Impossible political agenda
  • The pound in wait-and-see mode
  • Growth slows in Q1 (+0.1%)
  • Some hopeful signs of GDP growth in Q2
  • The BoE is not prepared to raise rates
  • Rate adjustment further postponed
  • Remain cautious with regard to UK equities
