February 15, Fineko/abc.az. The UK lost £29 bn ($35.2 bn) of investments as a result of leaving the European Union (Brexit).

ABC.AZ reports with reference to Jonathan Haskell, representative of the Monetary Policy Committee of the Bank of England, who said this in a published interview for The Financial Times.

He added that business losses in the form of capital investments after the referendum in 2016 on the issue of leaving the EU are equivalent to 1.3% of GDP of the UK.

The expert does not exclude that this indicator may increase to about 2.8% of GDP in 2026, while clarifying that the country has been ranked last among the G7 members in attracting investments for the past six years.
