The Consequences of Brexit on (your topic)
Your extra credit writing assignment is to write a short analysis paper on the impact of Brexit on some
economic or social issue in the United Kingdom or the Post-Brexit European Union. London is one of the financial
capitals in the world. How will Brexit affect banking? Will international banks who conduct business in the
European Union want to retain regional operations in London or will the banks decide that Amsterdam, Paris of
Brussels is a more suitable location? The same goes for finance, stock brokerages and currency exchanges. These
are multi-billion and trillion dollar industries. Another aspect is the brokers and trade specialists who are employed
in these businesses. Will there be labor flight to other countries? Other issues to consider are manufacturing and
assembly operations. Will they stay or will they go? Service businesses may also be affected. Will tourism be
affected if there are extra hoops to jump through to cross the channel?
