BUCHAREST (Reuters) – Euro zone countries have taken steps to prepare for a no-deal Brexit but are still hoping that this scenario will not occur, the chairman of the Eurogroup of euro zone finance ministers said on Friday.
Mario Centeno told a news conference in Bucharest that the European Union and its member states had adopted contingency measures that cover all systemic activities to reduce market turmoil in the event of a hard Brexit, in which Britain would leave the bloc without a deal.
