UK trade tracker Q4 2023
The UK in a Changing Europe trade tracker is now being produced quarterly and in a new format. The new format trade tracker will focus on three key areas: UK trade and its performance relative to historical data; UK trade in a global context and how it compares to the G7; and finally, newsworthy developments which have occurred within trade in the last quarter.
In the Q4 2023 edition, the trade tracker looks at how UK trade measures compare to 2019 as well as the proportion of total UK trade with the EU. In addition, the tracker looks at the UK’s trade balance and trade openness compared to the G7.
Lastly, the tracker summarises the proposal for an independent UK Board of Trade, and explores what impact it could have and how likely we are to see its creation in the next year.

According to the well informed World Bank and the equally well informed IMF, India, Indonesia, Russia and Brazil will have larger economies than the UK by 2024. Pushing the UK down the GDP rankings to 9th largest economy. The overwealming cause of this epic decline is Brexit.

UK has left things pretty much as they were but have also given themselves room to start expanding globally as the EU shrinks. FTA's need to be better and not rushed out to silence those questioning Brexit as Hunsaker here alludes to. CPTPP will take years to really boost trade. UK-EU trade covers that time for now.

As if the world would be waiting for the UK to exploit growth markets. Guess what: the EU and its member states do not only trade with themselves but also with countries all over the world. Standards put into place by the EU very often become de facto global standards. And services, well, take a close look at all the business that will move from London into EU financial centers in this year and in 2025.

The Australia trade deal is a really excellent deal . . . for Australia, not for the UK, not at all. 1:26 ‘Our trade with the EU hasn’t been damaged at all’ It has been damaged, because trade hasn’t grown as much as it would have grown as an EU member.

The LSE data reckons weve had a 15% drop in exports GLOBALLY, not just EU, where comparable G7 countries exports have recovered post covid. Is that because we've got worse market access outside the SM ? Or a supply chain thing ? Regardless, its not great

@ColinBarrett001 6 ай бұрын

To argue that the EU consists of merely 15% of world trade is extremely misleading. Sure a big chunk of world manufacturing is now in China and North (and South) America have huge markets, but the UK is still dependent upon European trade because that's where we are in the world geographically. And UK trade with the EU is now effectively at the back of the queue behind the 27 EU member states, because the UK's third country WTO rules are a PITA for EU businesses, so they will trade with the rest of the EU first and then the UK last.

@bishimixes9871 6 ай бұрын

The simple fact is the rest of the world are catching up with the mature markets of The West. As a result the size of the pie is growing rapidly as markets and consumers in Asia and Africa are better able to ‘consume.’ This does not mean that The EU shrinking it’s proportion to 15% is a bad thing, what it means is that it at least maintains, and at best and more likely, increases it’s levels of wealth within its borders. The EU is not shrinking it’s wealth, the rest of the world is merely catching up. The only place where wealth is haemorrhaging is The UK and Farage’s brexit is the main reason

EU is bigger economy than India, Russia, Japan, UK and Canada COMBINED. That's 450 million people in the EU with a bigger economy than 1,8 BILLION people in India, Russia, Japan, UK and Canada. There are other aspects that i won't even mention. (Like the fact that EU got same GDP PPP economy size like the USA at around 25-26 trillion dollars, and that EU got bigger gold reserves than USA and China COMBINED). Any way, whatever the EU is in the global economy the UK with it's 3-3,5 trillion dollars of the economy is just a statistical error. P. S. EU got GREAT trade deals with South America, Japan, Canada, etc.

Which of these 'new' markets export products produced to a sufficient quality, volume and desirability for British consumers? European products tend to be of the highest quality. We must rejoin the EU to keep environmental regulations, consumer protections and worker benefits as they have been. Leaving the EU has proven that the Tories don't think UK consumers should have the same rules and regulations of the EU: i.e. we can reduce them. Right-wing governments by their very nature continually want to increase profits by treating workers and consumers as afterthoughts.

People need to stop obsessing over GDP and the economy. It represents a healthy country AS A BUSINESS. And GDP has been almost constantly increasing. Yet the country is falling apart and people are poorer than ever in recent memory. Our economy and GDP model doesn't serve to improve the lives of people. It serves to make rich people and businesses richer. That wealth does not and never will trickle down to the people or services. It just staggers me that people listen to this clap trap and think it affects them.
