London, June 27 (Reuters): Britain's finance minister said on Monday the country's economy was strong enough to cope with volatility caused by its vote to leave the European Union, whose leaders demanded a quick divorce and promised no special treatment. We cannot remain in an uncertain and indefinite situation,” French finance minister Michel Sapin said on France 2 television. “Our economy is about as strong as it could be to confront the challenge our country now faces,” he told reporters at the Treasury. With financial markets shaken by the shock outcome of Thursday's referendum, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang said uncertainties over the global economy had heightened and called for a “united, stable EU, and a stable, prosperous Britain”. The replacement is unlikely to be in office before October, so Britain and the EU are left in a political limbo.
