European Japanese business council out with a few comments 16 March

Please join the queue waiting to hear anything of real consequence so far re Brexit. Still an uncertain box of frogs.

  • strongly hopes the ratification and entering into force of withdrawal agreement will be achieved asap

Ditto the above. Please join the queue.

  • Japanese companies will implement Brexit contingency plans based on cliff-edge scenario if transition period not long enough.

Not alone on that one then.

Meanwhile GBPUSD trawling around 1.3965 still and EURGBP 0.8827. GBPJPY falls being held up by USDJPY 105.50-60 support.

Brexit talks still very much a work in progress
