<p>The Department for Exiting the European Union is undertaking a wide range of analysis
of the effect on the economy, in partnership with HM Treasury and other government
departments and has been engaging closely with stakeholders. The UK’s decision to
leave the EU means there will be a period of adjustment, but the UK economy is resilient.
The unemployment rate is at its lowest level in four decades and the employment rate
has never been higher. Businesses have continued to show their confidence in the UK,
with major investments announced by GlaxoSmithKline, Google and Apple, among others.
During our negotiations with the EU we are determined to get the very best deal for
households and businesses and will continue to work closely with other government
departments and HM Treasury to achieve this.</p>
