Ten years after the 2016 referendum, the United Kingdom continues to navigate the socio-economic and geopolitical consequences of its departure from the European Union.

在 2016 年公投十年後，英國仍持續應對退出歐盟後所帶來的社會經濟與地緣政治影響。

The automotive sector serves as a primary indicator of the transition's volatility. The Nissan facility in Sunderland, once a symbol of industrial stability, experienced a significant decline in production, with annual output falling from 507,000 units in 2016 to 273,000 last year. While the British government provided substantial state aid—totaling over £162 million—to maintain operations, the industry has faced non-tariff barriers and a diminished attractiveness for new foreign direct investment, as evidenced by Xpeng's preference for the EU's integrated market.

汽車產業是衡量此次轉型波動程度的主要指標。位於桑德蘭的 Nissan 廠曾是工業穩定的象徵，但產量大幅下降，年產量從 2016 年的 50.7 萬輛跌至去年的 27.3 萬輛。儘管英國政府提供了總計超過 1.62 億英鎊的大量國家援助以維持營運，但該產業仍面臨非關稅壁壘，且對新外國直接投資的吸引力下降，例如小鵬汽車更傾向於歐盟的整合市場。

Similarly, the fisheries sector, despite its disproportionate influence on the referendum's rhetoric, has failed to realize anticipated gains. The transition to independent quota management was complicated by agreements that extended EU vessel access to British waters until 2025, and subsequently until 2038 under the current administration's 'reset' policy. This has resulted in a trade imbalance where seafood imports double the value of exports, compounded by restrictive immigration policies that hinder the recruitment of skilled crew members.

同樣地，漁業儘管在公投的論述中具有不成比例的影響力，但未能實現預期的收益。由於部分協議將歐盟漁船進入英國海域的權限延長至 2025 年，隨後在現任政府的「重置」政策下更延長至 2038 年，導致向獨立配額管理的轉型變得複雜。這導致了貿易失衡，海鮮進口價值是出口價值的兩倍，且受限於嚴格的移民政策，導致難以招募熟練的船員。

Institutional frictions are most evident in the realm of mobility and border management. The introduction of the Entry-Exit System (EES) and the forthcoming Etias charge have institutionalized delays and increased costs for travelers. Furthermore, the aviation and transport sectors have incurred significant capital expenditures to comply with bifurcated safety certifications and biometric requirements. This friction is mirrored in the labor market, specifically within social care. The decline in EU personnel necessitated a pivot toward non-EU recruitment, leading to a surge in visas from nations such as India and Nigeria, though subsequent legislative tightening has restricted these pathways.

制度性的摩擦在移動性與邊境管理領域最為明顯。Entry-Exit System (EES) 的引入以及即將實施的 Etias 收費，使旅行者面臨制度化的延遲與成本增加。此外，航空與運輸產業為了符合分叉的安全認證與生物識別要求，投入了大量的資本支出。這種摩擦也反映在勞動力市場，特別是在社會照護領域。歐盟人員的減少迫使招聘對象轉向非歐盟地區，導致來自印度和尼日利亞等國家的簽證激增，但隨後法律的收緊限制了這些途徑。

Conversely, the financial services sector demonstrated unexpected resilience. Despite projections of massive job losses and capital flight, the City of London maintained its status as a global hub, with only 7,000 jobs migrating to the continent. This stability is attributed to the industry's capacity for adaptation and the government's subsequent deregulation of banker bonuses and listing rules. While services exports grew by 47% in real terms between 2016 and 2025, growth was concentrated in sectors with minimal trade barriers, whereas financial and insurance services' share of exports declined from 32% to 24%.

相反地，金融服務業展現出意想不到的韌性。儘管此前預測會有大規模失業與資金外流，但倫敦市仍維持其全球樞紐地位，僅有 7,000 個職位遷往歐洲大陸。這種穩定歸功於產業的適應能力以及政府隨後對銀行師獎金和上市規則的去管制化。雖然服務出口在 2016 年至 2025 年間實質增長了 47%，但增長集中在貿易壁壘較低的部門，而金融與保險服務在出口中的佔比從 32% 下降至 24%。

The United Kingdom remains characterized by systemic economic divergence and a prevailing public sentiment of regret regarding the withdrawal process.

英國目前的特徵仍是系統性的經濟分歧，以及公眾對於退出過程普遍感到後悔的情緒。
