The Issue: Brexit, the United Kingdom’s decision to withdraw from the European Union, is a rare contemporary example of a major developed economy raising trade barriers and more generally pulling back from international economic integration. New research aims to assess Brexit’s actual impact on the United Kingdom’s economy, which involves the challenging task of comparing the country’s economic indicators to what they would have been if the United Kingdom had remained in the European Union. This research finds that, ten years on, the economic cost of Brexit has been larger than analysts predicted and that prolonged policy uncertainty contributed importantly to the magnitude of the impact. The Facts: The Brexit process started when the “Leave” campaign unexpectedly won the June 2016 UK EU Membership Referendum by 51.9% to 48.1%. But, it was not until 2024 that the Brexit process was close to completion.  Brexit meant that the terms and bureaucratic procedures involved in the movement of goods, services, capital and people between the UK and EU countries had to be renegotiated, determined and reestablished. There have been many other impacts beyond that, as the UK had to create its own legislation, standards, and rules in areas that had formerly been set by the EU.  Prior to the Brexit referendum, UK GDP was growing at a similar rate to that of 33 other comparable countries: the 27 members of the EU, the United States, Canada, Japan, Iceland, Norway, and Switzerland. In the wake of the referendum, however, the GDP of the UK grew more slowly than the average of the other countries in the analysis, (see chart). Our estimates suggest that by 2025, Brexit had reduced UK GDP by 6% to 8%, with the impact accumulating gradually over time. UK business investment is estimated to have been, on average, 18% lower than that of comparable countries. UK employment and labor productivity are estimated to have been, on average, 4% lower than other similar countries.  We find that firms with higher levels of exposure to the EU exhibited greater adverse effects of Brexit. These firms had faster investment growth before the referendum but lower investment growth than other firms after the referendum. More exposed firms also had lower employment and productivity growth after the referendum.  The Decision Maker Panel (DMP) Survey, a large and representative monthly online panel survey of UK businesses revealed that the vote for Brexit generated large, broad, and long-lasting increases in uncertainty. This increased uncertainty was strongly associated with decreased investment and could have lowered productivity by reducing spending on intangibles like research and development, information technology, and management that can boost productivity. The dampening effects of Brexit on employment appear most strongly associated with expectations of lower future demand. There were also high costs associated with preparing for and dealing with Brexit, including the time spent by senior management.

(The Center Square) – Amid a projected $18 billion budget shortfall for the 2026-27 fiscal year, the state is also dealing with $99.1 billion in bond debt, according to a new report. The report released by the California Debt & Investment Advisory Commission shows that the state and local debt load sits at $99.1 billion, and long-term debt across the state makes up $90.1 billion. That debt load is up 11.6% over the five-year average, the report states, and is up 8.8% year-over-year. “I always say the insidious thing about taking a loan out is that you’ve got to pay it back,” state Sen. Roger Niello, R-Roseville and vice chair of the Senate Budget and Fiscal Review Committee, told The Center Square on Monday. “I tend to be very conservative on that because of that fact that you have to pay it back. If there’s any part of today’s budget difficulties that are motivating us to go to the bond market to help pay for things that the general fund can’t, that’s a huge mistake.” An additional $7 billion in debt has been proposed statewide, according to the report. Local governments in California, additionally, have taken on $71.3 billion in local debt. That is driven, in large part, by the energy sector, the report states. Electricity demand increased significantly between 2021 and 2024 in places where artificial intelligence data centers were built or expanded, according to the report. Debt issuance went up by 30% in that time, mostly to help pay for supporting electric systems, renewable energy projects and grid modernization. Government-run joint power authorities that help supply energy to private electrical companies took on the most debt in that time period. Approximately 40% of the electricity consumed by private utility companies is purchased through these agencies, and those agencies are able to get tax-free bonds to help pay for increased electricity infrastructure to meet the higher demand generated by AI data centers, according to the report. Those bonds essentially pre-paid renewable energy for customers of these agencies for the next 30 years, the report states. “My first impression is that we’re kicking off our problems to the future,” said Wayne Winegarden, a senior fellow in business and economics at Pasadena-based Pacific Research Institute. “We keep adding on more debt," Winegarden told The Center Square on Monday. "In theory, some of the electric grid or power investments should be good, that’s what you use debt for.” But Winegarden added bond money has to be invested in something that yields a higher return. “And it certainly doesn’t seem like our investments have been doing that,” Winegarden told The Center Square. “When you take this growth in debt and combine it with the fact that we’re already very indebted, it’s really setting us up for long-term fiscal troubles.” Lawmakers who sit on taxation and revenue-related committees told The Center Square Monday that despite the multi-year budget deficit and the increasing debt burden, it shouldn’t be residents of the state who ultimately pay the price of those bonds. “I will avoid putting the burden on ratepayers and taxpayers,” Sen. Jerry McNerney, D-Stockton and chair of the Senate Revenue and Taxation Committee, told The Center Square. “If there’s going to be a burden, it should be placed on the people that are making the money on these data centers.” In total, $25.7 billion were issued in bonds to joint power authorities, $21.2 billion were issued to publicly-owned utilities, while more than $4.57 billion worth of bonds were issued to other electricity supply programs. Silicon Valley Power, a publicly-owned utility owned by the city of Santa Clara, is working on a system upgrade that the commission said will cost $450 million. The upgrade is necessary to meet the demand of data centers, among other users, the report said. The system upgrade will be done in 2028, according to the report. Private utility companies like Pacific Gas & Electric, which utility industry experts refer to as investor-owned utilities, often don’t use bonds to pay for system upgrades and infrastructure projects. Because these companies pay for those projects with their own company revenues, no bond debt issuance to these companies was included in the report. Officials with the California Debt & Investment Advisory Commission were unavailable to answer questions from The Center Square. Assemblymember Mike Gipson, D-Gardena and chair of the Assembly Revenue and Taxation Committee, was also unavailable.

(The Center Square) – Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass wants residents to remain unified and continue helping one another in times of difficulty. During her State of the City Address, the longtime Democrat said these are divided times. But she added she wants residents to show the world what the city, its people, neighborhoods and cultures have to offer. “We were built by immigrants from every corner of the world,” said the mayor. “Our city has always been about bringing people together.” Bass, a member of the U.S. House from 2011 to 2022, said many people looked after one another when the Trump administration deployed the National Guard to the city last summer. “Neighbors looked out for neighbors,” said Bass, who was born and raised in Los Angeles. “Communities formed rapid-response networks. People stood together — to protect human beings they had never met.” Bass said these events made her proud to be an Angeleno. “While the National Guard has since left, the brutality of the raids has not,” said Bass. “Raids continue every day in Los Angeles, and with them have come the devastating losses of life.” Examples offered by Bass include the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis as well as Keith Porter in Los Angeles. The three were killed by immigration officers. “Keith Porter, a 43-year-old father of two, was shot to death by an off-duty ICE officer,” said Bass. “Staying silent or minimizing what is happening is not an option. This administration does not care about safety. They do not care about order. And they certainly do not care about the law.” The Trump administration has stood by its actions and those of officers with Border Patrol and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Still, Bass called for the “senseless death, lawlessness, and violence” to end as well as ICE’s presence in Los Angeles. The mayor added that ICE is present in other cities as well, but officials are taking a stand. “Mayors and local leaders have become the last line of defense,” said Bass. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has repeatedly told The Center Square that Democrats are vilifying immigration agents, which has greatly increased assaults on them and puts them in danger. The department has stressed it's working to make America safer from criminals. The mayor also addressed rebuilding efforts in areas such as Pacific Palisades one year after the devastating Palisades Fire. After thanking families for sharing their stories and frustrations with her, Bass said, "Recovery should never feel harder than the disaster itself.” According to Bass, 400 homes are under construction and hundreds more are ready to be rebuilt. Later, Bass touched on affordability issues, saying her administration is committed to helping people in different stages of life. “The city that prices out its next generation is a city that stops believing in its own future,” said Bass. “We’ve expanded tenant rights and capped rent increases.” The mayor also announced $14 million in rental assistance for seniors and people with disabilities. Meanwhile, Los Angeles will host various watch parties for the FIFA World Cup, parties that Bass said will be free and open to the public. When it comes to homelessness, Bass said her office has also moved with urgency. “We broke down silos, challenged policies that kept people trapped on our streets and began building a coordinated system with one clear goal: End street homelessness,” said Bass. Bass was introduced by Angel City Football Club co-founder and CEO Julie Uhrman. Uhrman announced a partnership with Los Angeles as part of the mayor’s efforts to promote youth sports. Angel City Football Club is a professional team that competes in the National Women's Soccer League.
