UK - In the wake of the result of the EU referendum last Thursday, what are the short-term consequences for the UK pork sector?Though this decision will have widespread effects on the meat industry in the long term, much will depend on the terms of the UK’s exit. Full details will be unclear until negotiations are concluded. In the meantime, the UK will remain a part of the EU and will continue to be bound by the existing conditions of our membership.Once the result of the referendum was clear, one of the first effects was seen in UK currency. The value of the pound fell sharply against other currencies during the day after the result. Further falls were seen at the beginning of this week, as uncertainties continued. As of 29 June, ￡1 bought €1.21, down 10 cents since immediately before the referendum result and the lowest level in over two years. Against the US dollar, the pound hit its lowest level since 1985, at ￡1 = $1.32.
紧随上周四欧盟投票结果之后，给英国猪肉行业带来的短期后果会有哪些?尽管从长远来看，这个决定将对肉类产业产生广泛的影响，而很大程度上的影响取决于英国退欧的条款。所有的具体细节直到谈判结束才能清楚。与此同时，英国仍将是欧盟的一部分，并继续受到成员国现状的约束。一旦公投结果明确，就能看到英国货币成为首因效应之一。英镑相对于其他货币的价值在投票结果之后急剧下跌。由于持续的不确定性，可以看到货币在本周初进一步下跌。自6月29日起，1英镑能兑1.21欧元，英镑价值自投票结果的前一刻下降10欧分，达到这两年中的最低水平。英镑相对于美元，触及自1985年的最低水平，1英镑兑1.32美元。
