As S&P Global Ratings has warned:

  • Brexit without a trade deal could stall the recovery of the British economy, which would be an adverse effect on the country's sovereign credit rating;

  • The economic and political consequences of Brexit without a deal would be very massive;

  • The lack of an agreement will eventually affect Britain's ability to attract capital and labor, the state of its government budget, and its debt/GDP ratio;

  • If the pace of recovery of the British economy fails to meet our forecasts, this could put pressure on its rating;

  • The rating could also be at risk if foreign investors lose interest in the pound or British assets.
