Nous avons été trop pessimistes sur l’impact économique du vote sur le Brexit. c’est en ces termes que le Deputy Governor de la Banque d’Angleterre fait son mea culpa.
Au moins, lui, il le fait!
A ce jour on n’a rien entendu de Bruxelles sur son catastrophisme scandaleux. « Il ne fait aucun doute que l’économie a enregistré une performance bien meilleure que celle que prédisaient les enquêtes réalisées tout de suite après le référendum.. même mieux que nos propres prévisions de court terme… le ralentissement semble plus modéré que nous ne le craignions »
| BoE deputy governor: We were too pessimistic about economic impact of Brexit vote |
| Giving a speech at the Wall Street Journal’s offices in London, Bank of England Deputy Governor Ben Broadbent said, “There’s little doubt that the economy has performed better than surveys suggested immediately after the referendum and … somewhat more strongly than our near-term forecasts as well…The central projection in the August inflation report didn’t involve a recession, simply a slowing in the economy’s rate of growth. But that slowing looks so far to have been more moderate than we feared.” However, Broadbent cautioned against reading too much into individual pieces of data following the UK’s decision to leave the EU. He said that, while consumer spending would be “relatively unperturbed”, the greater risk would be a hit to business investment, as companies hold off on big spending commitments because of heightened uncertainty. “A lack of clarity about the UK’s future trading relationships needn’t result in visible, headline-grabbing closures of productive capacity. The effect is likely to be more insidious: decisions to expand, that might otherwise have been taken, are delayed” he argued.
