GERMANY - Brexit is a disaster for Germany which could be forced to exit the euro to save itself from becoming a “cash cow” to the EU, an investment expert has claimed. As the EU’s strongest economy, Germany would become the “cash cow” to the Union, he warned. Writing for DASInvestment, Mr Schmitz said: “The structural deficits of the confederation of states are becoming increasingly apparent and can not be remedied. In addition, there is no political will in the southern European countries for urgently needed economic reforms. The current economic policy debate almost completely overlooks the impact of Brexit on the EU's majorities. Because of it, the former hard currency countries, which include Britain, Germany, the Nordic countries and the Benelux countries, lose their previous blocking minority in the Council of Ministers.”
