Britain marks Brexit’s 10th anniversary with an economy 4%-8% smaller than if it never voted to leave

Britain marks the 10th anniversary of Brexit, with the economy estimated to be 4%-8% smaller than it would have been if the UK had remained in the EU. The 2016 referendum, which resulted in a narrow vote to leave, led to prolonged negotiations and economic challenges, including trade barriers with the EU and unfulfilled trade deal promises. Experts attribute the economic drag to reduced trade, investment, and productivity, while Brexit supporters argue long-term benefits may outweigh short-term disruptions.
