    Companies parking cash offshore

    And why not? What is the point of investing in a sinking ship. The UK is the sick man of Europe since the Brexit vote.

    Samuel Tombs: there is 'clear evidence that Brexit has been bad for the economy' - Business Insider


    Companies are simply parking the extra cash offshore

    "They're not spending it, they're not investing it, they're just storing it overseas in bank accounts at the moment, taking a very cautious approach. Obviously, exporters face a lot of uncertainty right now as a result of the Brexit vote, so they're not pitching any long-term investment decision."

    That's the big risk for the remainder of the year, Tombs believes. That the Brexit dividend inherited by exporters in the form of a devalued pound is wasted, and the political uncertainty surrounding Brexit becomes a concrete bar to new investments in the real economy.
