Dutch to be hit hard by any Brexit – official

THE HAGUE: The Netherlands will be hit hard if Britain leaves the EU, a Dutch government thinktank warned Thursday, predicting a possible 1.2-percent fall in GDP by 2030.

Britain, though, would be affected even more, it said, adding that London could take “years” to reforge its trade ties with the European Union if it pulled out of the 28-nation bloc.
