A pro-Brexit group of economists has claimed Britain will gain £651 billion from a “no deal”, whereas the European Union will lose more than £500 billion.

The Economists for Free Trade group – formerly known as Economists for Brexit – used a classic trade model to predict that GDP will spike by nine per cent, amounting to a one-off gain of £180 billion, if Britain leaves on March 29, 2019, without a deal.

They predict the UK would make an additional £433 billion in tariffs imposed on EU producers if it operated under World Trade Organisation rules, because we import more than we export.

That, plus the £38 billion the UK will have saved by not paying for the two-year transition period, adds up to a total of £651 billion.

Conversely, the cost to the EU would be the loss of the £38 billion “divorce” payment, plus £433 billion in tariffs, plus its balance of trade surplus with the UK estimated to be worth around £36 billion – a total of £507 billion.

Sir Patrick Minford who made the calculation, said: “It could not be more open and shut who least wants a breakdown of negotiations.

“For the UK a breakdown would be a short-term nuisance but a substantial economic gain. For the EU it is both a short-term nuisance and a substantial economic loss.”

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
