Brexit could be an opportunity for the Welsh economy

Brexit could be good for Wales, writes James Foreman-Peck (Cardiff Business School). EU models of regional aid relied on a stand-alone conception of the Welsh economy, but in fact the country is deeply interlinked with the neighbouring English regions and cities. In a European Free Trade Area like the one Britain originally wanted to create, Wales’ strengths – such as manufacturing productivity – could flourish in the long term.
