Nigel Hawkins is again our feature writer of the month. Last month it was a review of the UK/ EU Electricity Sector – this time he has again turned his attentions to UK/EU Relations by assessing the risks to the UK financial and business sectors from our possible exit from the EU. The main conclusions from Nigel’s analysis are: The £ Sterling will be volatile, especially if Brexit prevails. Few of the largest FTSE 100 stocks are heavily exposed to the EU- Vodafone being a notable exception. A vote for Brexit may be the start of a long drawn out process of exiting the EU – if the UK Parliament approves the relevant legislation. Major changes in the tariff rates would have a significant impact but existing trade arrangements may last for many years.
