The Likelihood Of A Brexit Is Increasing

In a new report, Credit Suisse analyst Sonali Punhani discusses the latest poll numbers out of the U.K. regarding the possibility of a British exit (Brexit) from the Eurozone. According to Punhani, the momentum behind the Brexit movement has never been stronger.
 

On February 19, British Prime Minister Cameron agreed to a new set of terms regarding the U.K.’s relationship with the EU for the next seven years. Disapproval of the agreement sparked a new wave of Conservative calls for a Brexit and sent the British currency plummeting.

Punhani notes that a recent study by the Cabinet Office found that it would likely take an independent U.K. a decade to re-negotiate all of the trade agreements is currently has in place via the EU. “A Brexit vote would negatively affect the lives of millions and a decade of uncertainty would hit ‘financial markets, investments and the value of the pound,’” Punhani said, referencing the Cabinet Office’s report.
