Depends on the area.
I don't see northern Ireland losing EU developing regions money as positive. We get so much investment here and will lose all of it.
Ireland is also shitting it's pants over possible trade issues. Our closest trading partner that also relies on NI is very worried.
I think it's very well possible to make short - term predictions for certain aspects.
Long term depends on what comes out of the EU negotiations.
But it wouldn't surprise me if this turns the UK more into the 52nd state of the USA long term. The buffering aspect of the EU gone, the EU being able to move on with certain things means the UK needs to prop itself up otherwise.
International politics and trading is horsetrading and friends making, which friends the UK makes can have long term consequences for us all.

What about the ftse100 and the record levels of investment from overseas? Eh? Stick that in your experts pipe and smoke it.
Oh and you're not allowed to mention a weak pound, otherwise you're talking to down UK Plc. But it doesn't matter anyway because now we can get back to focusing on exporting manufactured goods.
All jokes aside, this is such uncharted waters and as no one knows what Brexit is yet I don't know how anyone can think they can predict the effects (positive or negative).
At least Micheal Fish knew what "the weather" meant.
