Is 3% a much bigger deal than a 20% currency fluctuation?
... and the latest from Merkel is:
Quote:
German chancellor says success can be achieved ‘if we are all clear in our minds’.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Friday she was confident Britain and the rest of the EU could reach a good deal on Brexit “if we are all clear in our minds.”
“From my point of view, there are absolutely no signs that we can’t succeed,” Merkel said early Friday morning after the first day of an EU summit in Brussels.
“If we are all clear in our minds, I have absolutely no doubt that we can reach a good result,” she told reporters.
“What I find it hard to understand, when we need a result by March 2019, is why people are already talking in October 2017 about what might happen at the end of the process,” Merkel said.
The veteran chancellor said there had been progress in the Brexit talks so far but it was not sufficient to move to the second phase, on the future relationship between Britain and the EU.
“I believe, in contrast to the way things are portrayed in the British press, that things are progressing step by step,” Merkel said.
