I always take these analyses with a pinch of salt. It's clearly had some effect on the economy in terms of less investment and a few business decisions to move work elsewhere. But £66bn is such a staggeringly large amount, I don't believe it.
Like you I don't believe it.

Mostly because we have still managed to stay slightly above the EU trend growth.

I have seen a constant stream of forecasts since before the referendum, all relating to Brexit, and the forecasts have been wrong, all too pessimistic.

I do not doubt that some investment decisions have been held back. These decisions will still have to be made and as I worked for a relatively large German owned international company for a number of years I'm pretty sure they would just sit on their hands until they have clarity, unless there is a real pressing need for them to make an urgent decision.
