Does Business Really Support ‘Remain’ in the EU Referendum Debate?

Reports & Briefings
Brad MacKay

In less than a week, the British public will vote in the EU ‘in-out’ referendum on whether to remain or to leave the European Union. It is a decision that will have profound consequences for generations to come. As the debate has ‘hotted-up’, two issues, rightly or wrongly, have taken centre stage: immigration and the economy. How the economy performs in particular, following the vote, will be largely dependent on how ‘business’ fares, broadly speaking. It is, therefore, little surprise that on an almost weekly basis surveys of business views on the referendum are released to the public in either support of ‘leaving’ or ‘remaining’ in the EU.

The purpose of this piece is to give you the tools you need to understand where business sits in the EU debate, the logic and reasons why, and to work out the wider economic and employment implications.
