watermark Economic news

The survey issued on Monday showed the lowest decline of business leaders’ confidence towards the UK economy due to the risky effects of the Brexit agreement. Britain is expected to the leave the European Union in less than eight months, however, the government has not yet settled its exit with Brussels and proceeded to plan for the possible failure to come up with an official agreement.


The Institute for Directors (IoD) employers group polled 750 executive leaders and found out that the major trading concern is the uncertainty within the European Union. When asked about the leader's optimism about the expanding economy for next year, the majority of them were pessimistic which resulted the confidence level to reach -16 percent versus -11 percent in June and lower than the positive 3 percent rating in April.


According to the IoD, there was 44 percent of the participants mentioned the uncertainty towards EU’s trading condition which they believe will have an unfavorable impact on their companies. The poll was made on July 11-26 which indicates that respondents had a positive outlook on their own businesses, with a net optimistic forecast of 37 percent but further showed a decline from 46 percent in June.
