@ Luis, I think you have missed my points. "Really a disagree because you haven't answered the question asked" but I am not going to spend any more time on this. I was trying to be helpful as people have disagreed with me in the past for the same reason.

Thanks for taking time to give your input on my answer.
The asker’s concern was about an explanation to a source term. That is what I have done using terms widely used in the financial press. I did not say the effects will take place right away. In my discussion entry, I spoke about a sequence of events that will take place only over time. Let me insist that I strongly agree with you in this particular point.
The broad picture is that a no-deal Brexit may (over time and ultimately) have consequences on variables such as bank asset quality, earnings and capital. It will happen only through the action of other variables such as corporate insolvencies and weaker collateral, which in turn will affect banks’ asset quality, earnings and capital. The effect would be a negative one that is why I talk about adverse effects.
However, if my answer is still an interpretation, it’s an accurate one. We can agree/disagree with each other. But finally, someone else would qualify us right or wrong.
I do not know if the asker is going necessarily to translate the paragraph to another language.
As for Brexit itself, its pros and cons, this is not the right place to discuss such a complex process.

@Luis
a) You don't seem to realise that English > English questions usually seek an explanation for a term, not a more jazzy way of phrasing it (which I, as a native speaker, am quite capable of doing), as the Asker is going to translate this into another language. Thus the meaning of "play through" is required here (result in or impact over time rather than right away), not the meaning of the whole paragraph, though, of course, it is useful to have that too as it makes it easier to explain the phrase in context.
b) Thus, you have not explained the term ASKED in the header of your answer but rather go on to give an interpretation of the entire paragraph, a no-deal Brexit impact that MAY happen.
c) Corporations MAY fail (over time) and IF that happens it will impact on some banks. At the moment everything is conjecture with one economist after another making guesses as to likely outcomes, each more dire than the next. My country will be impacted very severely so I've been following the twists and turns of the haggling over the past 2 years and hope PM May can garner support for the deal on the table now but that is also looking unlikely.

I seem to strongly agree with Yvonne, with her interpretation of the paragraph as a sequence/chain of events that will eventually unfold only over time. However I would suggest using different terms.
Please see my answer.
