Bangladeshi migrants in Britain may be hit hard
There are several Bangladeshi migrants in the United Kingdom, who think, the stalemate on Brexit deal might negatively affect them in various ways. In particular, the exports of Bangladeshi goods to the UK would face obstacles as there is a possibility of higher inflationary pressure on Britons, which may come from higher cost of living. If there is a no-deal Brexit; that means UK leaves EU without a withdrawal agreement.
However, the UK could start trading with the EU on the basis of World Trade Organisation rules. As a result, the UK will lose some of the trade privileges it now enjoys. What will be highly problematic for Bangladesh is that — at present the UK is the third largest export destination for Bangladesh after Germany and the US. There is no doubt that any kind of financial uncertainty in the UK will hit Bangladesh as well Bangladeshi migrants hard.
