The UK’s Free Trade Agreements
Since the UK left the European Union, it has had autonomy over the trade deals it negotiates, agrees and signs. In many cases, most of the trade deals in place are rollover agreements from when the UK was an EU member state (in other words, the deals are no different). However, the UK has since signed some new trade deals that are either slightly different from previous EU agreements, or stand-alone agreements entirely.
The UK’s trade agreements with Australia and New Zealand and negotiations with the USA and India have been most prominently covered in the media. As the UK continues to sign deals, or negotiate them, we will look to provide analysis and insights into the key takeaways and areas of interest.
UK Trade Agreements by Country
The UK has prioritised trade deals with several countries across the world so far. In doing so, it has already signed free trade deals with Australia, New Zealand as well as a comprehensive economic partnership agreement with Japan. You can track the progress of each of the UK’s free trade agreements by following the relevant link below.
Rolled-Over Agreements
The UK has signed trade agreements which were ‘rolled-over’ from the UK’s membership of the EU. These are agreements which the UK had with around 70 countries by virtue of its EU membership, and many have been replicated as UK bilateral agreements.
