25% chance of hard Brexit according to economists

There is a one chance in four that Britain will leave the European Union in March without a deal, a Reuters poll found, while the Bank of England will wait until after Brexit before raising borrowing costs again.

Reuters Aug. 29-Sept. 3 poll was conducted as pressure mounts on British Prime Minister Theresa May, who is struggling to sell what she calls her business-friendly Brexit to her own party and across a divided country.

With less than two months before Britain and the EU want to agree on the terms of Britain’s leaving the bloc, the two sides are still sparring.
