Abstract

This chapter argues that the UK's post-Brexit threats to become a tax or regulatory haven lack credibility and effectiveness. Despite political rhetoric, structural and institutional factors—such as political instability, high relocation costs, and lack of credible long-term commitments—make it unlikely that such a strategy could attract significant foreign business or harm the EU.
