S&P Global Ratings: Ratings On The United Kingdom Lowered To 'AA' On Brexit Vote - Outlook Remains Negative On Continued Uncertainty

Date 27/06/2016

OVERVIEW

In the nationwide referendum on the U.K.’s membership of the European 
Union (EU), the majority of the electorate voted to leave the EU. In our 
opinion, this outcome is a seminal event, and will lead to a less 
predictable, stable, and effective policy framework in the U.K. We have 
reassessed our view of the U.K.'s institutional assessment and now no 
longer consider it a strength in our assessment of the rating.
The downgrade also reflects the risks of a marked deterioration of 
external financing conditions in light of the U.K.’s extremely elevated 
level of gross external financing requirements.
The vote for “remain” in Scotland and Northern Ireland also creates wider 
constitutional issues for the country as a whole.
Consequently, we are lowering our long-term sovereign credit ratings on 
the U.K. by two notches to 'AA' from 'AAA'.
The negative outlook reflects the risk to economic prospects, fiscal and 
external performance, and the role of sterling as a reserve currency, as 
well as risks to the constitutional and economic integrity of the U.K. if 
there is another referendum on Scottish independence.
