An intriguingly confounding fact

Well, that is an intriguingly confounding fact given the media narratives I see in both the UK and the US. And against reasonable logic, as well. Regardless of whether you view Brexit as a good or bad thing, it introduces uncertainty into commercial decision-making and uncertainty is usually anathema to investment.

Apparently there are many substantial investors who see Brexit as a strong opportunity.

Assuming that it might be some dodgy sourcing, I dug around a little and find it is from the UN.

Not, one would have thought, an especially Brexit-friendly forum.
