A British departure from the European Union would put at risk 466 billion pounds ($670 billion) of U.K. trade with nations in Europe and beyond, according to a report published Tuesday by the Centre for Economic and Business Research.
Britain’s membership of the bloc gives it “easy” access to trade with the other 27 member states, as well as another 68 nations around the world with which the EU has negotiated agreements, the center said in the report. It was prepared for the Britain Stronger in Europe group that’s campaigning for the U.K. to remain an EU member in a referendum promised by Prime Minister David Cameron.
