A Brexit hit is looming for sectors that have emerged relatively unscathed from the Covid-19 pandemic, analysis by the London School of Economics suggests. The LSE report says Brexit will deliver a double shock to the economy \u2013 with business conditions worsening for those sectors that have survived the impact of coronavirus and lockdown measures \u2013 whether Boris Johnson secures a deal with the EU or not. The analysis, seen by the Guardian before its publication on Wednesday, includes information from a monthly survey of Confederation of British Industry members.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur analysis shows that the sectors that will be affected by Brexit and those that are suffering from the Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown are generally different from each other,\u201d said Swati Dhingra, an economics professor who co-authored the report.A \u201csimultaneous impact\u201d from Brexit and coronavirus will be felt across the business spectrum from the autumn when the chancellor Rishi Sunak\u2019s pandemic policies aimed at supporting the unemployed end and the new trading environment for the UK outside the EU begins to bite, the research finds.<\/p>\n

The report, Covid-19 and Brexit: Real-Time Updates on Business Performance in the United Kingdom by the LSE\u2019s Centre for Economic Performance, shows sectors that entail more human contact \u2013 including hospitality, air travel, restaurants, hotels, and arts and entertainment \u2013 have been the hardest hit by the pandemic. The affect on other sectors such as the scientific industries, professional services, including accountancy and legal services, and publishing has been less severe because they can continue to operate with staff working from home. Among those reportedly continuing to operate with remote working are firms such as Vodafone, Google, the accountancy firm KPMG, GlaxoSmithKline, Rolls-Royce and the consumer goods group Unilever.<\/p>\n

But Brexit will impose barriers on those trading goods or services with the EU, whether it is pharmaceutical companies seeking regulatory approval, banks or services needing to transfer data from servers in the bloc or car manufacturers or clothes importers being required to fill in customs declarations for the first time in decades. The report points out that as far back as 2017 the government announced that Brexit would be guided by impact assessments across sectors; it has provided detailed analysis in only 10 sectors to date. The LSE report urges the government to put in place an industrial strategy that \u201cmust reflect\u201d the cold reality of \u201cbeing in a post-Brexit UK which is placed in a post-Covid world economy\u201d in which global trade shrinks.<\/p>\n
