UK and EU trade imports and exports monthly 2023

After the new trade deal between the European Union and the United Kingdom came into effect in January 2021, the import and export trade between the two parties took a historic nosedive. While the value of goods imported from the EU into the UK was at approximately 17.2 billion British pounds, UK exports that made their way into the EU was measured at 7.6 billion British pounds in January 2021. However, both import and export values increased rapidly in the following months. As of March 2023, UK imports from the EU reached to about 26.1 billion British pounds, and the export value of trade goods from the UK into the EU amounted to approximately 15.2 billion British pounds.
