“…Given that tariff-jumping FDI is often two-way in nature, why have British firms not been doing so already? Breinlich et al (2019) find that though the Brexit vote has led to a 12 per cent increase in new investments by UK firms in the remaining EU27, these investments have solely been in services sectors.

D'un autre côté, le nombre de projets d'investissement de l'UE27 au Royaume-Uni n'a diminué que d'environ 9%, ce qui suggère que le Royaume-Uni serait plus exposé aux coûts de la désintégration économique que les autres États membres de l'UE (Breinlich et al 2020).
