BOE's Bailey Backs UK Trade Opportunities, Including With EU

Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey said Monday in Zurich that the UK should pursue trade opportunities with any market, including the European Union. "If there are opportunities to increase the openness and the markets that we serve, wherever they are, whether it's the European Union, Switzerland, or anywhere else — other things equal, we should take them," Bailey said. UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham is scheduled to meet with European leaders in Dublin on Thursday, with an official UK-EU summit planned later in the month.
