Global commerce: UK forecast for international trade
Three things to take away in this report produced by QBE
- What is the outlook for the UK’s trade in goods – and how is the geopolitical and economic landscape impacting growth prospects
- What are the key risk areas for firms involved in global commerce in 2024
- What can firms engaged with international trade do to mitigate risk and promote growth by tapping into research, diversification, insurance and other financial products
International trade is a cornerstone of the economy for many countries and companies, including the UK. Recent issues affecting global supply chains – including the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic and of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine – have left the UK’s importers and exporters facing a range of challenges, alongside the ongoing impact of Brexit.
The coming years are likely to see governments in the UK, Europe and the rest of the world looking to ensure access to critical goods while navigating trade flow concerns through the filters of evolving post-Brexit rules and relations, geopolitical uncertainty, and near-shoring and onshoring trends.
