What Do the Experts Think about Brexit?

On November 29th, 2016, the Global Economic Dynamics Team and the Financial Times organized a high level panel discussion in Berlin to debate the future of Brexit and the UK-European relationship. The evening resulted in an enlightening exchange of opinions and predictions that are available for you to watch in our recording of the event here. But we also wanted to hear the participants opinions on some questions specifically tailored to their own fields. That’s why we used the event to conduct short individual interviews with them, each consisting of three personal questions on the topic of Brexit and what it means for them and from the perspective of their respective countries. We are very happy to be able to bring you those interviews here and now.
