Brexit denotes the UK's departure from the European Union (EU). British Exit is a portmanteau that combines the terms "British" and "Exit," and it became official on January 31st, 2020, as a result of a popular vote in June 2016 in which 51.9% of British residents chose to leave the EU.
Concerns about immigration laws, a loss of national sovereignty, and a desire to seek independent trade agreements outside of the EU all contributed to the decision to exit the EU. It took more than three years to negotiate the terms of the UK's withdrawal from the EU, which resulted in severe political and economic concerns.
Brexit has had a significant financial impact on the economies of the UK and the EU, as well as on businesses and investors. Due to the enormous changes in trade agreements, legislation, and financial market circumstances brought about by the UK's exit from the EU, businesses now face higher expenses, greater investor uncertainty, and swings in currency exchange rates.
