The stats have no indication of how China, USA, India, or other countries will invest in the UK. The future of UK is with non-EU countries. Some people have problem understanding the UK-EU divorce.

I work with US, Japanese, Chinese and Indian companies that are currently transferring their EU headquarters to the EU. It’s not rocket science to know that they chose the UK for access to EU and now have to revise that decision
-
Many new investors will come. The market opportunities are attractive.
-
Other than a few bargain-basement buy-outs from a dead economy, I’m not really sure what your evidence base is for any company or individual wanting to invest in the UK post-Brexit?
-
But this is the dream of Rees-Mogg et al isn't it? Bargain basement companies owned by them / their funds / their clients. Meanwhile the well paid jobs relying on frictionless trade relocate to EU27 and our tax revenues go off the cliff with us.

Certainly is!!

However what would the difference have been if there was no Brexit and you had just asked the same question about investment in 2 years? I would guess the results would be similar.
-
Uhm...we’d be ‘in’ the EU so the question would be irrelevant...

-
No. My point is if you ask businesses in any cycle what their investment plans are you will get some saying decrease and some saying increase.
-
True...but this is specifically about moving investment into or out of Europe...not about overall business investment...which is a different question. I suspect that a lot of ‘productive’ investment is also being diverted to pay for Brexit risk/contingency planning.
-
Some of the questions are but 63% said they would increase or keep investment the same which does not sound as catastrophic as the tweet implies given some of these will be normal business cycles.
-
I think some brave neophyte should start a new branch of philosophy dedicated to the contortions and acrobatics Brexiteers' minds are exposed to every time they are confronted with the many downsides of the thing they voted for.
-
Yes they could use the govts Brexit predictions to start. To recap: A fall in GDP of between 3.6% & 6%; a plunge in the value of sterling; lower house prices; a reduction in wages of between 2.8% and 4%; more than half a million job losses; more borrowing; and higher inflation.
-
To recap reality: last quarter UK GDP growth 0.1%. Italy 0 3%. Businesses already are responding to Brexit to maintain access to the world's largest & richest single market. There's nothing exceptional about the UK (except economically suicidal behaviour). That's business

Like all the City Bankers showing their colours. Lack of commitment to this Country through the challenging times. Bye then.
-
City bankers have one overarching prerogative- make money from the current circumstances. They don’t care who prospers / suffers. It’s their job. If UK is gonna go bankrupt they would (and should) find a way to monetise it. Don’t be angry at them; it’s literally their job.
-
Not angry at them, just happy to see them leave if that's their attitude. None of their profits benefit any real people in this country, they can go leech in another country, whilst officially domiciled in yet another country for tax purposes.
-
Do you actually believe that?!Seriously?! 80% of the uk economy is the service industry and a huge section of that industry is the financial sector.
-
Indeed. Thanks to the systematic dismantling of any useful industry in this country and the flogging off of all our infrastructure to... other European Countries. What relevance does location have to 'Service' in your experience?
-
The relevance of location - we aren’t going to benefit as a country if all the banking sector goes to Frankfurt. They as an industry will still be global, profitable, and also avoid escalating operating costs due to being outside the EU, but we won’t benefit at all from that.
