Terming Friday's results of a UK referendum that favoured a UK-EU split, or "Brexit", as an "additional adjustment", Jaime Caruana, general manager of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), or the "bank for central banks", said on Sunday: "The world economy conveys a sense of unfinished adjustment and fragile confidence."
