Brexit may have cost up to 8% of the British economy

SAPO Notícias6 September 2026 at 19:15

Brexit may have cost up to 8% of the British economy, according to an economic analysis. An economist stated that the funds used for the Brexit process could have been applied to the British National Health Service (NHS).

The article refers to the negative economic impact that the United Kingdom's exit from the European Union will have had on the country. The 8% estimate represents a significant loss in terms of Gross Domestic Product.

The NHS (National Health Service) is the United Kingdom's public healthcare system, which has faced financial and capacity challenges. The economist's comment suggests that the resources allocated to Brexit could have been better used in other areas.

The article does not provide further details on the calculation methodology or on when these economic losses may have occurred, but it presents a critical perspective on the economic consequences of the United Kingdom's separation process from the European Union.
