Beyond Brexit and Political Turmoil: What’s Next for the U.K’s Economy?
Zoom Webinar
Tuesday, January 24, 2023 | 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM ET
Between September and October 2022, the United Kingdom witnessed a rotation of three individuals in the position of Prime Minister. The newly inaugurated Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has inherited a treacherous economic recession and now faces the challenge of stabilizing the U.K. economy. According to the Office of National Statistics, Britain had the worst-performing economy of any G7 country in the third quarter. How have Brexit and the pandemic affected Britain, and what are the ways that Britain can improve its economic circumstances? To guide us through these concerns, join us for a virtual discussion with Martin Wolf MBE, Associate Editor and Chief Economics Commentator at the Financial Times in London, on Tuesday, January 24, 2023, from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM ET.
