Global Economic Environment

Order Description
A. Project background
On the 23 June 2016 in the referendum the people of the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union. This result shattered both political and economic landscape
of Europe and the World. However, from formal point of view the process of leaving does not seem to be an easy task. Furthermore, until the UK uses required procedural
steps the process does not formally start. Experts assumed that the whole process of “divorce” might not end until 2020.

B. Project question
Analyse potential impact of the Brexit on a non-EU company of your choice trading on UK as well as on the rest of the EU-27 markets. What kind of benefits and threats
could it face? Develop a strategy it could use to exploit potential opportunities and avert threats?

C. Project specifications
1. Identify and describe theory behind the trade integration. Support your analysis with statistical data on trade in different areas like goods, services etc between
the EU-27 and the UK.
2. Identify possible models of economic relations between the UK and EU-27 after the Brexit. Use as examples current EU economic cooperation agreements with third
countries.
3. Identify theoretical opportunities and threats posed by the Brexit which the company could face in different scenarios.
4. Design a strategy which could exploit potential opportunities and avert threats. This strategy should be rooted in analysis performed in points 1, 2 and 3.
