As far as foreign direct investment (FDI) is concerned, EY's recent survey of 440 foreign investors shows that sentiment toward the UK has not fallen off a cliff as some commentators feared, but there are early signs of a slowing of inbound flows.
Overall, 21% of investors have changed their UK investment plans since the referendum vote, but it is striking that 7%, representing one-third of this group, have actually increased their investment in the UK in the last 18 months. However, 6% of investors have reduced their commitment and another 8% have put their plans on hold, and the mood among investors not currently in the UK is much less positive.
A confirmation of the poll is also the data of 1.3 billion pounds of IPO collected for the first quarter of 2018, with the decline in the number of deals amounting to 38% over the same period last year.
Here are the percents divided by location and size of investors:
