Real-terms UK trade volumes have grown by just 1 per cent since 2019, while both the EU and G7 have enjoyed an 8 per cent growth, the Centre for European Reform said last month.

On the ninth anniversary of the leave vote, the OBR’s estimate of a 4 per cent loss in the UK’s long-run productivity has been borne out by declining investment and trade volumes, according to John Springford, an associate fellow at the Centre for European Reform.

A study by John Springford, associate fellow of the Centre for European Reform, finds that the annual loss of 4% of gross domestic product from Brexit – as estimated by the Office for Budgetary Responsibility – implies a loss of £40bn a year in tax revenue. He points out that this would have offset “a sizeable chunk” of the £100bn of taxes raised by the 2019-24 Conservative government.

A report by the Centre for European Reform (CER), calculates that more than half of the foreign-born workers doing “green jobs” in the UK – 260,000 out of 465,000 – would not have been allowed in under the new rules.Ministers are relying on employers to raise wages and provide more training in order to attract domestic workers into these roles, but John Springford, an associate fellow at the CER, said that could push up the costs to consumers of going green.

Aslak Berg, research fellow at the Centre for European Reform think tank, said the Commission seemed to be serious about reforms that made a difference, but needed to get EU members on board.

„Das ist eine sehr schnelle Explosion von chinesischen Roboterexporten“, erklärt Sander Tordoir, Chefökonom des Centre for European Reform.

Ian Bond, directeur adjoint du Centre for European Reform, partage ce constat. Selon lui, même si un cessez-le-feu durable est trouvé en Ukraine, rien ne garantit que la Russie en restera là. La stratégie militaire de la Russie ne se limite pas aux paroles. Sur le terrain, son économie est déjà mobilisée.
