‘Brexit throws £65b of investment into doubt’

AFP, LONDON:  Britain's shock vote to leave the European Union has persuaded many British businesses to cancel or postpone investments worth more than £65 billion ($82 billion, 75 billion euros), a study said yesterday.
The estimate was based on research from the Centre for Business and Economics Research (CEBR) think tank, Hitachi Capital and online pollsters YouGov, which recently quizzed 1,015 company bosses about investment decisions since the EU exit referendum on June 23. About one third of those decision makers stated that they had either delayed or abandoned investment because of Brexit.
