The United Kingdom is voting on Thursday on whether to remain in or leave the 28-nation European Union. Britain's exit from the bloc, widely described as 'Brexit', is being debated globally as such a development could have far reaching implications for the international financial markets, exchange rates and the world economy as a whole.
There are also fears that exit of Britain from the EU could trigger significant capital outflows, including that from the Indian market.
