India is holding its ground during a shaky time in the global economy too. While most emerging nations have struggled mightily against the strong U.S. dollar and falling commodity prices, India is above water.

The business impacts of Brexit (positive and negative) will take time to become apparent. However, the most significant short-term impact has been via a sharp fall in the value of the Pound exchange rate against major currencies such as the Euro and Dollar.
