BREXİT; BİRLEŞİK KRALLIK VE EURO-BÖLGESİ AÇISINDAN SONUÇLARININ DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ

Abstract

2016 yılının ikinci çeyreğinde
İngiltere’de gerçekleştirilen referandumun İngiltere’nin Avrupa Birliği
üyeliğinden ayrılması yönünde bir sonuç doğurmasının, hem Birleşik Krallık hem
Euro-Bölgesi açısından kısa vadede değilse bile orta ve uzun vadede önemli
etkilere yol açması beklenmektedir. AB Mevzuatı’na göre, referandumu takip eden
iki yıl içerisinde başlayacak müzakerelerin sonuçları, İngiltere’nin özellikle
finansal alandaki önemli rolü dikkate alındığında, belirleyici önem arz
etmektedir. Londra önemli finansal ve ticari merkezlerden biridir; Brexit
süreciyle, İngiltere’de faaliyet gösteren büyük şirketlerin yatırımlarını ve
kaynaklarını Birlik içerisindeki diğer ülkelere kaydırması sonucunda,
İngiltere’nin ekonomik açıdan zarar görmesi kaçınılmazdır. Geçiş sürecinde
yaşanacak potansiyel sıkıntılar, stresin ve belirsizliğin artmasına yol
açmaktadır. İngiltere ve Euro-Bölgesi finansal piyasaları arasında, özellikle
İngiltere’ye üstünlük sağlayan güçlü bir ilişki bulunmaktadır ve Brexit süreci,
maliyetli ve problemli bir dönemi beraberinde getirecektir. Bu çalışmada,
İngiltere’nin AB’den ayrılmasının, özellikle İngiltere açısından yaratacağı politik
ve ekonomik sonuçlar ve süreçten etkileneceği düşünülen ana unsurlar
değerlendirilerek, genel bir durum analizi yapılmaktadır.
