british consumers begin to notice in the supermarkets, the consequences of a 'brexit'. The chain Tesco has decided to withdraw from their internet sales the products of the angloholandés Unilever. As the fabric softener Comfort, Hellmann’s mayonnaise, or spread Marmite. The reason is that Unilever would have required to charge ten percent more for the fall of the pound sterling.
"Since the referendum, we have not increased prices," says the ceo of Tesco, Dave Lewis. "Our prices have continued to fall. I can’t say how it will affect in the future our supply of the type of change, will depend on the level. What can I compremeter is not to encourage inflation if we can avoid it."
Although it seems that there is a principle of agreement between Tesco and Unilever, this company reminds that now it costs more to import raw materials for manufacturing, and their profits down.
"If prices of food go up, it will be very difficult for the people who can’t get to the end of the month," lamented a woman in front of a Tesco. "Unilever us burden on us to leave Europe, but I don’t understand what one has to do with the other."
"The people did not understand what he was doing when he cast his vote for the brexit", he notes another citizen. "Voted for other reasons and did not take into account the economic impact. And, now, it is a surprise to them."
the problem with The Uk is that it is basically an importer and not exporter. And a devaluation of the pound favours exports, but makes imports and increases the price. The currency touched on Tuesday, its lowest level in function of trade from the mid-century XIX, according to the Bank of England.
