Anecdotal but interesting. According to @KPMG the prospect of a transition deal has slowed down Brexit preparations in UK companies but speeded them up in Spanish ones. home.kpmg.com/uk/en/home/ins…
One of the things that has surprised me most about Brexit is the belief in so many businesses that, whatever happens, it will all be OK in the end.
The transition deal (which, despite the way it had been reported, hasn’t actually been agreed yet) has given people permission to bump Brexit down the panic list.
This sums up the attitude. Business leaders far more concerned about the transition deal than the final deal. ‘Just get me through the next 2 years.’ thecsuite.co.uk/ceo/finance-ce…
As @MarkJohnEssex says, the problem with this is that it strengthens the complacent. home.kpmg.com/uk/en/home/ins…
