With Brexit negotiations at an impasse, talk of no deal remains
a hot topic.
Depending on who you talk to, views range from optimism that
despite the events of the past couple of weeks a deal will be done
albeit late in the day, to concern that we will find ourselves in a
no deal scenario and faced with the disruption that could
cause.
Earlier this week we asked over 500 business leaders on our
Brexit webcast (listen here) whether they thought we would get
a deal and sentiment was pretty evenly split. Almost half had no
confidence that a deal would be done (marginally ahead at 47.5%)
whilst 43.5% had some confidence.
Absent a crystal ball, it is hard to call, however, on balance
it seems there is still some likelihood that a deal can be
done.
