The British Chambers of Commerce have reported that March 2022 saw a modest but welcome rise in UK exports.
Their spokesperson commented “Any trade war with the EU could threaten this nascent recovery, particularly in transport and automotive exports to the EU.
“Most of the UK’s largest trading partners have seen larger export growth since the depths of the pandemic and much work is still required for the UK to catch up.”
UK goods exports to the EU rose by £0.3bn (1.7%) in March 2022, although machinery and material manufactured goods exports both fell.
