Bloomberg: UK firms put probability of 2020 Brexit deal below 50%

05 December 2019

U.K. businesses see a 46% probability that the country will leave the European Union with a deal next year, according to a Bank of England survey.

The 2,987 respondents put a 16% chance on a departure without an agreement in 2020 and about a one-in-10 probability that it will never happen. The figures reflects the lack of clarity firms are still facing more than three years since the vote to leave.
