Key Quotes:
“There’s a real threat that with Britain leaving the EU, some very strong actors who favor a two-speed Europe will say that those who’re in the euro area are in and those who are out of the euro are out.”
“The threat is that the gap between developed and less-developed EU member states won’t narrow significantly” in a two-speed, post-Brexit Europe and this may carry with it “the potential to generate social unrest.”
