Brexit All That Stands Between BOE and a Rate HikeWhen it comes to reasons for raising interest rates, the U.K. economy is ticking a lot of the boxes right now.
Growth that's consistently faster than expected, accelerating inflation, record employment and soaring consumer borrowing suggest the economy is running hot enough to weather higher borrowing costs. Traders have taken notice, responding to the latest signs of economic strength by raising bets on a Bank of England interest-rate hike by the end of the year.0 -

Pakistani Commerce Minister Khurram Dastgir Khan told EurActiv.com that the UK leaving the EU was a “tremendous loss” for Pakistan’s dealings with Brussels, and that he would like a GSP-Plus deal with post-Brexit Britain. With nearly 25% of Pakistan’s exports going to the EU and the UK making up the largest share within that, Brexit was a “tremendous loss” for Pakistan, Mr Khan said. Not least because of the shared language and colonial history, Britain ‘knew’ Pakistan better than any other EU member country, he said.
On top of that, the UK’s population of Pakistani descent is the third largest in the world and send back some £2 billion a year in remittances – now greatly reduced due to the plunge in the dollar value of sterling.
Khan is now pushing UK International Trade Secretary Liam Fox for a series of business-to-business annual meetings in Karachi, Lahore, Manchester and Leeds.

Ah the standard response.
Good news = Brexit hasn't happened
Bad news = because of Brexit
Bad news = Brexit hasn't happened
Good news = because of Brexit
Neither of which I suggested in my post. I merely stated nothing can be attributed to brexit until we actually trigger Article 50, negotiate(or fail to) trade deals and leave, whether we have had good or bad news so far.0 -
From the responses I have seen on this forum and in general everywhere the following is equally likely:
Bad news = Brexit hasn't happened
Good news = because of Brexit
Neither of which I suggested in my post. I merely stated nothing can be attributed to brexit until we actually trigger Article 50, negotiate(or fail to) trade deals and leave, whether we have had good or bad news so far.
do you not consider than the fall in the value of the pound, was in any way related to the brexit referendum result?0 -
