In an interview with Euronews, Chris Hayward, the Head of Policy and Resources at the City of London, urged us to leave the issue of Brexit behind and focus on the future for the benefit of both the European Union and the United Kingdom.
“I think Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has taken a very positive approach to the EU, as has Chancellor Jeremy Hunt,” Hayward said. “So I think those days are gone. I’m talking about a painful divorce. “It was a painful divorce, but I think we now have to regain trust because the opportunities for both the EU and the UK trading together, working together, far outweigh those conflicts.”
Responding to concerns about high inflation in the UK, Hayward highlighted that these problems are common across Europe and not unique to the UK. He stated that both the UK and the EU must boost economic growth as both have faced economic challenges in recent years.
On the question of whether the UK would be better off within the European Union, Hayward admitted that he believes not being in the single market was a mistake, but they now see the opportunity to compete on the world stage and they must take it.
Addressing regulation and deregulation, Hayward emphasized the importance of high-quality financial regulation and the influx of financial investments from around the world. He noted that they seek to stimulate growth through investment in the country and promotion of the financial sector.
As for the possibility of a second Brexit referendum, Hayward personally believes it is unlikely to happen in his lifetime and that the UK has already made up its mind in the previous referendum, so they should press ahead with it. the current course.
