Brexit offers world a warning about trade barriers, BoE's Bailey saysGovernor of the Bank of England, Andrew Bailey looks on during the Bank of England financial stability report press conference at the Bank of England, in London, Britain August 7, 2025.

And, this appears to be what has happened. The same argument holds for the world economy and tariffs," he said.The British government's Office for Budget Responsibility estimates that Brexit will reduce Britain's long-term level of productivity by 4% compared with remaining in the EU.Bailey also highlighted headwinds to growth from an ageing population and a lull in the pace at which technological progress translates into higher living standards.
