Tom Carter

Tom Carter is the The Intelligence participant in Keep qualms and carry on: a decade after Brexit who explains Brexit Economic Friction. He says the economic effect of Brexit on the United Kingdom has been negative, with GDP-damage estimates ranging from 2.5% to 8%.

Carter’s segment emphasizes cumulative friction. Goods exports underperform relative to the European Union, importers and exporters face more barriers, and services exports remain strong but do not erase obstacles in finance, professional qualifications, and investment.
