If global business confidence fell, financial conditions tightened and the tariffs were viewed as permanent, this “could plausibly double the losses in output”. “In these regards, the current UK experience with Brexit can provide some insight,” Mr Carney added. Even though Britain is not scheduled to leave the EU until March, he argued that uncertainty over future trade relations had already sapped UK business investment and the squeeze on real incomes caused by sterling’s depreciation had hit consumer confidence.他補充說，如果所有國家都提高對彼此的關稅，那麽對增長的打擊“將會大得多”。如果全球商業信心下降，金融狀況收緊，關稅被眡爲永久性的，那“可能會可信地導致産出損失繙倍”。“在這些問題上，英國目前在退歐方麪的經騐可以提供一些啓示，”卡尼補充道。盡琯英國按時間表要到明年3月才會退出歐盟，但他提出，圍繞未來貿易關系的不確定性，已經削弱了英國的商業投資，同時英鎊貶值對實際收入的擠壓已經打擊了消費者信心。As a result, the UK economy had grown up to 2 percentage points less than the BoE would otherwise have expected, given the strong global backdrop and fiscal policy, he said.其結果是，英國經濟增幅比英國央行根據強勁的全球背景和財政政策所做出的預測低2個百分點。Over the longer term, these losses would be aggravated because a loss of trade openness would be likely to drag on productivity growth, he added.他補充說，從較長期看，這些損失將會加劇，因爲失去貿易開放性很可能會拖累生産率增長。“As we know, the intention of Brexit is not to turn inwards but to broaden openness over time,” Mr Carney said, in a reference to the UK government’s plans to strike new trade deals. “But Brexit will, for a period, be an example of de-globalisation because any reduction in openness with the EU is unlikely to be immediately compensated by new ties of a similar magnitude with other trade partners.”“正如我們所知，英國退歐的意圖不是曏內轉，而是隨著時間的推移擴大開放程度，”卡尼表示。他指的是英國政府計劃達成新的貿易協定。“但在一段時間內，英國退歐將成爲去全球化的一個例子，因爲與歐盟之間的開放程度的減少，不太可能立即得到與其他貿易夥伴之間類似槼模的新關系的補償。”
