BREXIT/Investor-Legende Soros: Brexit würde zu 'Schwarzem Freitag' führen

Am 21. Juni 2016 um 09:33 Uhr

LONDON (dpa-AFX) - Der berühmte US-Investor George Soros hat vor schwerwiegenden Folgen eines Brexits gewarnt. Ein Austritt Großbritanniens aus der EU würde einen massiven Sturz des britischen Pfund auslösen. Ein "Schwarzer Freitag" - ein Kurssturz an den Börsen - wäre die Folge, schrieb er in einem Gastbeitrag für die Londoner Zeitung "The Guardian". "Zu viele glauben, dass ein Votum zum EU-Austritt keine Folgen auf ihre persönliche Finanzlage haben wird. Das ist Wunschdenken."

Viele Briten würden "die wahren Kosten" eines Brexits schwer unterschätzen, betont Soros. Ein EU-Austritt hätte auch "sofortige und dramatische Auswirkungen auf Finanzmärkte, Investitionen, auf Preise und Jobs".

Die Briten entscheiden am Donnerstag in einem Referendum, ob sie in der EU bleiben oder austreten wollen. Laut Umfragen ist der Ausgang offen, ein Kopf-an-Kopf-Rennen wahrscheinlich./pm/DP/stb
