Fed's Bullard says "Brexit" vote not an immediate risk event for U.S.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Britain's upcoming vote on whether to leave the European Union is not an immediate risk to the United States because even a vote to leave would likely require years of negotiations to complete, St. Louis Fed President James Bullard said on Thursday.
"I don't think it is a risk event for the U.S.," because even if British voters decide to quit the EU there will be years for markets and investors to adjust," Bullard said.
