Introduction to the United kingdom
The actual name for the United kingdom is: The United Kingdom of
Great Britain and Northern Ireland
Northern Ireland is the only part of the UK with a land border(with the
Republic of Ireland).
Brexit would reduce the issues with forced immigration associated with the EU.
Brexit would change the perspective of Britain being the “gateway” to Europe.
Brexit could reduce the amount of foreign direct investment that Britain receives.
One in every ten UK jobs are linked to the trade with the EU.
Therefore Brexit affected their jobs directly or indirectly.
Impact On Trade
Trading freely with the EU allows UK businesses to grow. Being able to
trade freely with the EU helps UK businesses grow and create jobs.
Therefore, leaving EU puts all this at risk.
The pound fell dramatically after the Brexit vote at the end of June. It then
declined to a three-year low against the euro following Theresa May's
announcement that the UK would begin formal Brexit negotiations by the
end of March taking its fall from a pre-referendum rate of over 1.30 euros to
a low of 1.09 euros in October.
Impact on Society
Global financial market volatility can be readily expected. Markets across the
world will tank.
Brexit could reduce economic growth by up to 5.6 percent over the next three years
Being in European Union means lower prices for UK families, because it's cheaper to trade
and there’s more choice. Since UK left the EU, the cost of imports could rise by at least £11
billion leaving UK families out of pocket as prices rise.
Independent experts estimate the benefits of being in the EU are worth £3,000 a year to the
average UK household - due to lower prices and more jobs, trade and investment. These were
all lost as UK left the EU.
IMPACT OF BREXIT ON
INDIA
Impact of BREXIT on INDIA
Sensex and Nifty will tumble in the short-run.
India is presently the second biggest source of FDI (Foreign Direct
Investment) for Great Britain. But, if Britain exits the EU, it will not be as
attractive a destination for Indian FDI as before.
UK has always acted as a gate pass for Indian companies to access the
European companies, The total trade stood at $14.02 billion in FY16, out
of which $8.83 billion was in exports and $5.19 was in imports.
Brexit might also have a positive effect, but these results may not show
up immediately. The process might take time considering that the new
government will take time to design and implement their policies.
So on the event of Brexit, the pound rate might fall against the dollar
and thus, the rupee.
Indian Firms to look out for on the event of
Company Impact of Brexit

plants spread across UK.

Conclusion
There were 17.4 million votes for “leave” (51.9%).
“Leave” won the highest share of the vote in England and Wales.
“Remain” won the highest share of the vote in Scotland and Northern Ireland.
On the whole the UK’s politics tend to be to the right of most EU countries and its
economics is more free-market oriented.
Finally we come to the conclusion that BREXIT has damaging effects on the economic
development in the entire EU.
It also caused some severe political damage and weakened Europe geopolitically.
