FRANKFURT (Reuters) - The direct impact of Britain's potential exit from the European Union appears manageable but unpredictable factors, like the impact on economic confidence, could be more significant, European Central Bank board member Yves Mersch said on Tuesday.
"While the quantifiable (impact of Brexit) could be, I would say, digested in a pure macroeconomic modelling terms, there will be also confidence factors," Mersch told a business conference.
"What we can’t foresee is also creating uncertainty and uncertainty will affect the overall business outlook and will have larger consequences than the direct impact," Mersch added.
