Key points:
- It is estimated that all British cities will be negatively affected, as measured by a reduction in Gross Value Added (GVA), due to a predicted reduction in trade.
- Cities with large shares of employment in private-sector knowledge-intensive services (KIBS), predominantly in the South, are predicted to be most negatively affected.
- The predicted impact in Coventry ranks in the middle of all British cities.
- Coventry GVA is estimated to be 2.3% lower that it would have been after 10 years if the UK and EU do not immediately form a free trade area and the default situation is to trade under WTO rules. Under a scenario where the UK joins a free-trade area with the EU it is estimated it would be 1.2% lower.
- There is uncertainty associated with these estimates and this report looks at economic impact in a relatively narrow way.

Key points:
- 10% of Coventry's population aged 16-64 have no formal qualfications. This has improved in recent years but remains worse than the proportion across England overall.
- 34% of Coventry's population aged 16-64 are qualified to NVQ level 4 (higher education below degree level) or higher. Similarly this has improved but remains lower than England.
