The Government announced late last year initiatives to boost more exports to raise the export value to £1 trillion by the mid-2030s. The vision is to connect Global Britain to the markets of tomorrow, strengthen bonds with our closest partners, including Commonwealth countries, and build UK exports in developing markets. Almost 90% of world growth is expected to be outside the EU over the next 5 years and the future of the global economy lies to the east in the Indo-Pacific. By 2030, 65% of the world’s 5.4 billion middle-class consumers are expected to be in Asia.
The full Export Strategy contains the following 12 steps to getting the UK to £1tn of exports a year:
- Boost the Export Support Service – a new single point of contact for exporters to Europe which has been funded with £45m
- New DIT offices in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and a second DIT HQ in Darlington, will offer support across the UK
- An Internationalisation Fund for SMEs in England will aim to grow international sales, and has £4 million of support to attend trade fairs
- Export credit agency UK Export Finance to expand its products and delivery network, making it easier for exporters to secure business overseas
- The government will focus on strengthening a joint approach, connecting governments and business through its global networks
- The UK Export Academy will expand to teach SMEs in all parts of the UK how to navigate the technicalities of exporting
- ‘Export Champions’ will help businesses learn from exporting successes through networking and peer-to-peer learning
- The ‘Made in the UK, Sold to the World’ campaign will champion the UK’s priority sectors
- A “bigger and better” UK Tradeshow Programme will be targeted to help SMEs exhibit at the world’s biggest tradeshows
- Exporting will be “at the heart of reforms to regulations, cross-government measures and regulatory diplomacy” to help exporting thrive
- International teams in more than 180 global markets will provide sector and market specific support
- New markets will be opened for export with new trade deals aiming to cover 80% of UK trade by the end of 2022, and broader work to remove market access barriers.
