Warwick academic offers his views on May’s Brexit negotiations with foreign investors
On Thursday 8 February, Warwick Law’s Dr Andreas Kokkinis was interviewed briefly by TRT World as part of their Money Talks show. The interview focused on the meeting that PM Theresa May had attended that same day with Japanese investors. Andreas explained why loss of access to the common market would be damaging for Japanese car manufacturers in the UK – and other companies – and therefore the challenge the UK faces regarding its continuing ability to attract and retain non-EU investment.
Andreas told us ‘‘I was very pleased to be contacted by TRT World to comment on the risks Brexit is posing on Japanese companies that have invested considerably into the UK economy.” He went on to say that “the interview was excellent timing as my Policy Brief titled ‘Brexit: Preserving the UK's Future Success as a Service Economy’ was published on 5 February, as part of the GLOBE Centre Policy Brief Series.’’
