'Brexit' will affect Caribbean economies, says UWI academic

A leading regional academic is warning that Britain’s separation from the European Union, EU will affect the economies of Caribbean Community member states.
     
Sir Hilary Beckles, Vice Chancellor of the University of the West Indies, is urging regional leaders not to allow this to influence a similar decision in CARICOM.
      
Sir Hilary said Britain’s exit from the EU will pose both short and long term threats to the economic performance of CARICOM. 
     
In a press release on Sunday, he said every aspect of Caribbean life will be adversely affected by this development; from trade relations to immigration, tourism to financial relations and cultural engagements to foreign policy.
