#Germany may only account for 3.4% of the #worldeconomy, but it is more than a quarter of the #EuropeanUnion's demand and output. The #EU, in turn, is close to 20% of the world economy, and, based on last year's numbers, it takes $283.5bn of U.S. exports, or 18.3% of #America's total goods sold overseas. What the U.S. sells to the EU is more than 40% of all the goods America exports to #China and #Japan. That shows that the damage caused to the U.S. economy transcends, by far, Germany's surplus of $64.2bn on American trades in 2017.

What #Europe, the U.S. and the rest of the world need here is a radical change of German economic policies. Germany should be generating more growth from domestic demand to give an opportunity to its trade partners to sell more of their goods and services on German markets. That would boost intra-European growth and create opportunities for more American sales to Europe - its largest overseas customer.

At least 100,000 people took to the streets yesterday as part of the largest ever demonstration of support for a new referendum over #Britain’s final Brexit deal. With more businesses poised to issue dire #Brexit warnings this week and senior Tories already drawing up plans to soften #TheresaMay’s exit proposals, organisers of the march on Sunday said it showed Britain’s departure from the #EuropeanUnion was not a 'done deal'.

Anger on the streets at the prime minister’s handling of the Brexit negotiations is being accompanied by a renewed push from industry to ensure that trade with #Europe is not disrupted as a result of leaving. More prominent #manufacturing firms are set to issue warnings about Britain’s Brexit negotiations within days, after Airbus and BMW broke cover to say they could reconsider their #UK investment plans unless a Brexit deal was reached keeping Britain closely aligned with Europe.

A new analysis from the Center for European Reform has found that the #UK’s decision to exit the #EuropeanUnion has already slowed the nation’s #economicgrowth by a cumulative 2.1% as of Q1 of 2018, compared to likely results had Brexit been rejected 2 years ago. The study also found that the referendum vote is now costing the British government £440m ($584m) per week in lost tax revenue, challenging longtime claims by #Brexit supporters that leaving the #EU would improve government balance sheets.

Brexit is not law yet. But businesses are already preparing for it by shifting supply chains and relocating operations, and uncertainty about ongoing negotiations may be discouraging investment. #Britain’s economy has lagged so severely, even in the midst of a broad global expansion, that its Q1 growth of 0.1% puts it behind Italy and makes it the slowest-growing economy in the G7.

Brexit Has Already Slowed U.K. Growth by 2.1%, According to New Study
http://fortune.com/2018/06/23/brexit-slowed-uk-growth/

Sir Mark Boleat, who was chairman of the City of London Corporation until last year, said a seepage of jobs from the capital was already underway and that the political rows over a deal or no-deal outcome was now 'irrelevant' to City chief executives. Banks including JP Morgan, Lloyds, Barclays, HSBC and Goldman Sachs have already established subsidiaries in other EU countries, or moved part of their business because #EU law requires them to be legally compliant from the day the #UK leaves. He also believes the government is in such disarray that the #Brexit deal will be pushed back to December, leaving business planning elsewhere perilously close to exiting the EU.

+Callum Newman discusses the European Economy.

"Until this process — selling off the bad debts, recapitalising the banks and creating new loans — is complete, the European economy will be mired in slow growth."
