We're not landing on Mars for the first time or something, Old Boy. There may well be some tinkering around the edges on financial services like Solvency II but nothing that's going to make a noticeable difference to GDP.

The "or something" is that this is the first time that a country has left the EU, having been tightly bound to its systems for 40+ years.

I'll gladly pick up on "the first time" as opposed to "the only time"
Definite signs of promise there

We've ported over all the rules and most of the trade deals. Not much can change in a year. What changes can the UK make in a year that will make a dent in the 4% drop in GDP?

Isn't that what OB is postulating? The longer game is what will un-dent the 4% fall in GDP.

The context is he feels the economists' predictions for one year are too negative. They're not predicting the next 100 years, just the next year.
I'm looking for something more substantial than "hope" to back up his hypothesis. Rocket science this question ain't.

Moving away from OB, for now, I would observe that prediction for the next year is driven by the need for businesses to assure their micro-future.
The macro-future is what the 52% voted for.
