2020s ‘set to be decade of disruption’

THE 2020s will be a ‘decade of disruption as we confront the impacts of Brexit, globalisation and other changes’, the report warns.

‘Doing nothing will not keep things the same, it will make things worse,’ it says. ‘leaving the EU represents a momentous change and few parts of the economy will be unaffected. The UK is deeply embedded in the complex supply chains of the EU single market.

‘The changes will inevitably lead to uncertainty and disruption. The economy will need to be as strong and resilient as possible if it is to thrive.

‘Our structural weaknesses made change necessary before Brexit; they will make it all the more important afterwards.’
