Risk of Britain voting to leave the EU ‘now at 50%’

New indicators suggest the prospect of Britain opting to leave the EU is becoming more of a reality.

In its latest global economic outlook, French financial services giant, Societe Generale has estimated a 45% risk of so-called ‘Brexit’ occurring.

If that does happen, Societe Generale has forecast the British economy could see at least a decade of stunted economic growth, with between 0.5% and 1% of annual GDP increases wiped out every year until 2026 at the earliest.
