Trading our way to prosperity
A blueprint for policymakers
Since it was established in 2021, the UK Trade and Business Commission (UKTBC) has been working to understand how our new trading relationships are impacting businesses and different sectors of the UK economy. And now we have the solutions.
We have hosted 38 evidence sessions, performed site visits, taken over 80 hours of live testimony from 234 expert witnesses, industry leaders and business owners and received written evidence submissions from over 200 organisations as part of an open consultation.
Promoting Internationalism
The UK has a long history of trade and global cooperation. But some of the ways we do business across the world, via cutting-edge scientists, popular touring artists and major sporting competitions, aren’t as wellrecognised as trade, unlike selling food, manufactured products, or financial and other services.
UK trade is made up of contributions from all regions of the country, and from organisations large and small; a diversity of which we should be proud.
