“We are able to deal with it as we’ve solid macroeconomics,” he said.

Stating that Brexit is a significant development with serious political and economic consequences for both the UK and Europe, Mr. Subramanian said it was a landmark moment in the history since World War II.

The decision has reversed the experiment by the European countries for togetherness as a collective entity, he said, adding the elites would now be forced to recalibrate and adjust.
