The issue of a UK “Brexit” was still firmly in the limelight over the last week, The Bank of England governor Mark Carney warned during a speech to the House of Lords Economic Affairs Committee that ‘EU referendum risks may be beginning to manifest’. There is the possibility that a vote to leave the EU would "reinforce existing vulnerabilities" in the U.K. economy, including a risk around the U.K.'s trade deficit.
