Most forcasts have been proven wrong over the years, even current economic stats which have shown the country to be in recession and even a double dip recession, have been proven to be wrong a couple of years later.
Forcasts are an estimate from various indicators and assumptions, not fact.
The way I see brexit is that, hopefully, the grownups on both sides will see that it will be beneficial to both sides to continue to interact in a similar way to now but with the UK having a greater degree of independence. The EU will lose some of our contributions but get rid of a thorn in its side. We'll have to pay some of our contribution but with no say, but will have greater freedom. That is win win.
Remainers only see an end to all dealings with the EU, which would result in severe damage to our economy. This will not happen because to many industries throughout the EU rely on the UK.
