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.

This report is a product of the extensive work we have undertaken and the valuable insights gained have culminated in the development of 114 actionable recommendations. These recommendations are designed to enhance the UK’s trading relationships, foster business growth, and navigate through the current challenging landscape.
