The document analyzes the potential impact of Brexit on foreign direct investment (FDI) in the United Kingdom. It examines several market-seeking factors that influence FDI, such as market size, openness, labor costs and productivity, infrastructure, taxation, and compares the pre-Brexit and post-Brexit scenarios. While factors like openness and taxation may be mitigated, Brexit will likely negatively impact the UK's market size, labor costs and productivity, and infrastructure financing, reducing FDI inflows. The overall impact on FDI will depend on how the UK addresses these challenges in areas beyond its direct control compared to remaining in the EU single market.
Brexit: The customs impact on UK businessesAlex Baulf
Following the referendum vote on 23 June 2016, the UK has voted to leave the EU. Exactly when this will happen and how is not yet known. In the coming months, the UK will be expected to submit its withdrawal notice to the EU Council -under Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union (TEU) -to formally notify the EU of its withdrawal. The notification will trigger a two-year notice period and negotiations on the terms of a UK exit will begin. Until then, UK businesses should continue to comply with and trade under the existing Union Customs Code (UCC) that entered into force on 1 May 2016.
Assuming that 'Brexit' does eventually happen, businesses need to:
• assess the risks and opportunities that this poses for their supply chain
• where possible, put in place plans to manage these changes, to ensure their activities run smoothly and mitigate the potential impact, and
• take appropriate steps to prepare for the ‘unknown’.
Unless there is a dramatic 'U' turn, it seems clear that, at some point in the future, the UK will leave the EU. From a UK business perspective such a move will not only present many challenges, but will also provide opportunities.
The vote to leave will continue to create considerable uncertainty until the details of any agreement(s) are known. Businesses affected by Brexit will need to plan for that uncertainty and will need to understand the potential impacts. For this reason, a supply chain impact assessment is prudent and should help to provide some clarity in relation to a business’s exposure.
On June 23rd 2016 the UK voted in a referendum to leave the European Union. Prime Minister David Cameron resigned the morning after the vote and a few weeks later, Theresa May was elected leader of the Conservative Party and new Prime Minister
The process of Brexit has begun although the timing of the decision to invoke Article 50 of the EU treaty remains uncertain
Once Article 50 is invoked, there is a maximum period of two years before the UK finally leaves the EU. The terms of the UK’s new economic relationship with the EU also remain uncertain.

Brexit is the withdrawal of the United Kingdom (UK) from the European Union (EU). Following a referendum held on 23 June 2016 in which 51.9 percent of those voting supported leaving the EU, the Government invoked Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union, starting a two-year process which was due to conclude with the UK's exit on 29 March 2019. That deadline has since been extended to 31 October 2019.
Withdrawal of the United Kingdom (UK) from the European Union (EU), often shortened to Brexit is a political aim of some political parties, advocacy groups, and individuals in the United Kingdom.
In 1975 a referendum was held on the country's membership of the European Economic Community (EEC), a precursor to the EU.
The outcome of the vote was that the country continued to be a member of the EEC.
More recently the European Union Referendum Act 2015 has been passed to allow for a referendum on the country's membership of the EU, with a vote to be held on 23 June 2016.
The idea of creating a guide to the possible implications of Brexit came into being before the date for the Brexit referendum was set and the referendum campaign had begun. Now that the countdown to the June 23 vote is well underway, this has become a much more topical and current issue for everyone in the UK and I think that many more UK businesses are now engaged in active study and planning for Brexit scenarios.

Three issues dominated much of the Brexit referendum debate: trade, investment and migration; and they will continue to dominate during the exit negotiations. Uncertainty is the key word when analysing the outlook for the UK, with much depending on the UK government’s ability to negotiate trade agreements in a timely manner. Here we investigate the post-referendum economic landscape and explore the potential impact on the UK of a disorderly exit, as well as the impact on key economic indicators should the UK have a change of heart and remain in the EU.
Le Royaume-Uni lui-même serait le plus affecté, avec, à l'horizon 2030, un différentiel de Produit intérieur brut (PIB) par habitant pouvant aller, dans le pire des scénarios, jusqu'à 14% par rapport à ce qu'il serait en restant dans l'UE. Les économies que pourrait réaliser Londres en ne contribuant plus au budget européen ne compenseraient en aucun cas le manque à gagner, préviennent les auteurs de l'étude.
Trade liberalization and GVC participation: an EU perspectivePierfrancescoZeoli
The digital artefact that I have created aims to inform the general public on how and why trade liberalization policies and deep trade agreements may give a significant boost to GVCs development. As Master's student in European Affairs I adopted an EU perspective. I first convey the general information on how trade liberalization policies and the elimination of tariffs and nontariff barriers could provide developing countries with greater market access for their exports. Then I use two contrasting case studys, the EU's Everything but Arms (EBA) initiative of 2001 and the Brexit saga to examine why deep trade agreements are not only important for GVC integration between the countries involved in the agreement, but they also have spillovers for countries not directly involved in the deal. As the Brexit saga shows, policy uncertainty can have serious consequences for industries and businesses involved in GVC. Policymakers must therefore consider the impact that different kind of UK-EU trade agreements would have on industries and GVC integration.
The United Kingdom’s post-Brexit future is uncertain. But one thing is clear: boosting economic growth will depend heavily on addressing long-standing productivity challenges.
The United Kingdom (UK) intends to withdraw from the European Union (EU), a process commonly known as BREXIT, as a result of June 2016 referendum in which 52% voted to leave EU. The term “BREXIT” is the short form of the words “BRITISH” and “EXIT”.

The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.
What price will pi network be listed on exchangesDOT TECH
The rate at which pi will be listed is practically unknown. But due to speculations surrounding it the predicted rate is tends to be from 30$ — 50$.
So if you are interested in selling your pi network coins at a high rate tho. Or you can't wait till the mainnet launch in 2026. You can easily trade your pi coins with a merchant.
A merchant is someone who buys pi coins from miners and resell them to Investors looking forward to hold massive quantities till mainnet launch.

US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.

Financial Assets: Debit vs Equity Securities.pptxWrito-Finance
financial assets represent claim for future benefit or cash. Financial assets are formed by establishing contracts between participants. These financial assets are used for collection of huge amounts of money for business purposes.
Two major Types: Debt Securities and Equity Securities.
Debt Securities are Also known as fixed-income securities or instruments. The type of assets is formed by establishing contracts between investor and issuer of the asset.
• The first type of Debit securities is BONDS. Bonds are issued by corporations and government (both local and national government).
• The second important type of Debit security is NOTES. Apart from similarities associated with notes and bonds, notes have shorter term maturity.
• The 3rd important type of Debit security is TRESURY BILLS. These securities have short-term ranging from three months, six months, and one year. Issuer of such securities are governments.
• Above discussed debit securities are mostly issued by governments and corporations. CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSITS CDs are issued by Banks and Financial Institutions. Risk factor associated with CDs gets reduced when issued by reputable institutions or Banks.
Following are the risk attached with debt securities: Credit risk, interest rate risk and currency risk
There are no fixed maturity dates in such securities, and asset’s value is determined by company’s performance. There are two major types of equity securities: common stock and preferred stock.
Common Stock: These are simple equity securities and bear no complexities which the preferred stock bears. Holders of such securities or instrument have the voting rights when it comes to select the company’s board of director or the business decisions to be made.
Preferred Stock: Preferred stocks are sometime referred to as hybrid securities, because it contains elements of both debit security and equity security. Preferred stock confers ownership rights to security holder that is why it is equity instrument
<a href="https://www.writofinance.com/equity-securities-features-types-risk/" >Equity securities </a> as a whole is used for capital funding for companies. Companies have multiple expenses to cover. Potential growth of company is required in competitive market. So, these securities are used for capital generation, and then uses it for company’s growth.
Concluding remarks
Both are employed in business. Businesses are often established through debit securities, then what is the need for equity securities. Companies have to cover multiple expenses and expansion of business. They can also use equity instruments for repayment of debits. So, there are multiple uses for securities. As an investor, you need tools for analysis. Investment decisions are made by carefully analyzing the market. For better analysis of the stock market, investors often employ financial analysis of companies.

Impact of Brexit on Foreign Direct
Investment in United Kingdom
2. Introduction
The United Kingdom leaving European Union or its exit
from EU is Brexit. The Brexit referendum was such first
ever global development.
The United Kingdom has an FDI stock of over £ 1
trillion, about half of which is from members of EU. Part
of the UK’s attractiveness for foreign investor is that
EU’s single market.
After Brexit, higher trade costs with EU would be likely
to depress FDI
3. .
Introduction
Study on the bilateral FDI flows between 34 OECD
countries (including EU) over last 30 years. Controlling
for many other factors, the baseline estimated is that EU
membership has raised FDI by about 28%.
The positive effect of EU membership on
FDI is robust; ranging between 14% and 38% under
different statistical assumptions- The size of these effects
is also consistent with comparisons between UK FDI
flows and set of matched control countries
4. Introduction
Assessing the impact of lower FDI on income is complex.
Using the existing macroeconomic estimates of how FDI
affects growth combined with a very conservative estimate
of the impact of Brexit – a 22% fall in FDI over the next
decade.
Brexit-induced fall in FDI could cause a 3.4%decline in
real income – about £2,200 of GDP per household.
The income losses due to lower FDI are larger than our
estimates of static losses due to lower trade of 1.3% to
2.6%.
5. Introduction
FDI in the UK from the EU comes disproportionately
from a small number of host countries, including
France, Germany, Spain and Ireland, although the
picture is distorted by FDI routed through a third
countries, such as the Netherlands and Luxembourg.
The EU share of FDI is much higher in the energy,
retail and wholesale trade, transportation and
manufacturing sectors than it is in financial and
professional services.
6. Literature Review
Global Counsel (2015) studies the attractiveness of the UK as a gateway to Europe and analyses
the reduction in investment from the rest of the EU. The study highlights the impact of Brexit on
investment prospects using parameters like FDI in the UK, ability to attract investment from EU,
UK’s international competitiveness, investment intentions and ability to attract investment from
outside EU.
Capital Economics Ltd (2015) report looks at the likely impact of Brexit on foreign direct
investment into the United Kingdom. First it outlines the scale of investment into Britain from
the European Union. Second, it explore the probable legal and regulatory environment for
foreign investment following Brexit and its impact on flows of foreign direct investment .
Erdal Demirhan (2008) in its study have highlighted the determinants of FDI flows to
developing countries and has identified the factors which are more market seeking like market
size, openness, labour cost and productivity, infrastructure, growth and tax. Study helps to relate
these factors in terms of pre and post Brexit
7. Objectives of the Study
• To identify and analyze the market seeking factor
that will have impact on UK FDI flows due to Brexit.
• To develop the framework comparing the scenario
on impact of the factors pre and post Brexit
8. Analysis
Market Seeking Factors
Source: Prepared
Factors Focus Impact on UK Justification
Market Size GDP The CEP at LSE estimates that
the GDP will reduce by at
least 2.2% in its optimistic
scenario and between 6.3% to
9.5% in its pessimistic one
UK will continue its trade with
EU countries by joining
European Free Trade
Association. UK is under a
fifth of the economic size of
the EU Single Market it
`Would have less bargaining
power in trade negotiations
than the EU does. And being
outside the EU would mean it
no longer automatically
accessed the benefits from the
EU’s trade deals, such as the
current ones being negotiated
with the US and Japan worth
around 0.6% of GDP
9. Analysis
Market Seeking Factors
Source: Prepared
Factors Focus Impact on UK Justification
Openness Openness is
measured mostly
by the ratio of
exports plus
imports to GDP, in
determining FDI,
as well
Open Europe estimates that, if
the United Kingdom embraced
protectionism in the wake of a
Brexit, this could cost 2.2% of
GDP by 2030. By contrast, if
it followed a path of economic
openness, Britain could
outperform the European
Union. In that case, Brexit
could add at least 1.6% to
national income by 2030
The UK accounts for just one
sixth of the EU economy.
One-tenth of EU exports are to
the UK, whereas half of UK
exports are to the EU.
However, the imbalance in the
trade relationship is such that
the UK is an important source
of demand for the rest of the
EU
10. Analysis
Market Seeking Factors
Source: Prepared
Factors Focus Impact on UK Justification
Labour Cost
and
Productivity
Wage Rate, Migration
and Productivity due to
changes in labour force
Net migration from European
Union countries would almost
certainly fall if Britain was outside
the single market, reducing the
growth rate of the British labour
force (though the extent of the fall
would obviously depend on the
new arrangements put in place).
This may lead to upward
pressure on wages and inflation,
benefiting some workers but to the
detriment of some employers.
UK’s new relationship with the
EU leads to a contraction in the
labour force. Post-Brexit, they are
likely to find it difficult to attract
talented continental Europeans as
employees, since immigration
rules will inevitably tighten
compared with the current system
of free movement of labour. The
combined impact of restrictions on
migration and the likely relocation
of firms (particularly in the
services sector) would mean that
the UK’s labour force would
decline in 2019,
exacerbating existing problems
with weak productivity
11. Analysis
Market Seeking Factors
Source: Prepared
Factors Focus Impact on UK Justification
Infrastructure FDI in Infrastructure Financing of electricity
infrastructure may become
more costly in the event of
Brexit owing to the level of
investor uncertainty
concerning the prospective
new terms of the UK-EU
relationship
A post-Brexit scenario that
affects the UK’s ability to
attract investment in energy
infrastructure will complicate
the linkage with the European
internal energy market and
reduce the UK’s influence in
the formulation of European
energy regulations. This could
make it more problematic for
the UK to realize its goals of
maintaining a reliable and
affordable energy supply.
12. Analysis
Market Seeking Factors
Source: Prepared
Factors Focus Impact on UK Justification
Taxation Tax Structure Half of all European headquarters
of non-EU firms are in the UK,
with the UK hosting more HQs
than Germany, France,
Switzerland and the Netherlands
put together.
This could become harder
following Brexit given the
favourable tax treatment available
to member states through the
Parent-Subsidiary Directive. The
UK would either need to negotiate
third-country treatment under the
directive or a series of new double
taxation agreements with member
states. That would take a
considerable amount of time
The UK would almost certainly
seek ways to restore the
competitiveness of the FDI offer.
The UK might attempt to
‘undercut’ the EU further on social
regulation and taxation
13. Analysis
Pre- Brexit and Post- Brexit Impact
Source: Prepared
Pre- Brexit Factor Post Brexit
Single Market Market Size EFTA
High Openness Reduction on account of
Exports
Moderate Labour Cost and
Productivity
Labour Cost may increase
due to decline in labour
force further resulting into
decline in productivity
FDI Inflows Infrastructure Dependence will increase
Standard Taxation UK may reduce to continue
attracting investment.
14. Findings & Conclusion
The overall impact on FDI flows considering the market
seeking factors will be due to infrastructure and labour cost
as it is beyond the control of UK.
Whereas other factor of Openness can taken care by
increasing the trade with non EU countries.
Taxation will not have much impact as UK has scope of
doing Ireland way by reducing the taxes and finally the
market size can be taken care of as UK will trade with EU
being the member of EFTA.
The study can be taken forward by using hard data and
treating it with statistical tools to understand the exact result.
