New US study finds Brexit has reduced UK GDP by up to 8%

A new US study indicates Brexit has been an economic failure, reducing the UK's GDP by up to 8%. The National Bureau of Economic Research study suggests investments are 12-18% lower, employment is down, and productivity is affected due to trade issues, uncertainty, and resource diversion. While the pandemic and energy crisis complicated the economic picture, the study concludes leaving the EU has been costly for the UK economy.
