ONS reveals UK exports to EU dropped 40.7% in January
T
he Office for National Statistics (ONS) recorded a significant fall in both British imports and exports to the EU in January. UK exports to the EU dropped by 40.7%, while imports were also down 28.8%. This equates to a £5.3bn fall in exports and a £8.9bn fall in imports.
These were the first figures recorded after the Brexit transition ended, with customs rules changing and firms contending with extra paperwork.
Much of this is likely to be what the ONS calls temporary factors. These include concerns around the outcome of the Brexit deal as well as predictions of a third lockdown towards the end of 2020. Stockpiling in anticipation of these events were likely to contribute to a sharp rise and fall.
However, there were no similar falls in Britain’s trade in non-EU countries, suggesting that Brexit has been a greater contributing factor.
The ONS also said that other data suggested that trading had started to recover by the end of January.
In addition, the ONS published figures showing that the UK economy shrunk by 2.9% in January as the third national lockdown took effect. By contrast, this a smaller drop than expected and a much smaller drop than in April last year. The services sector suffered the biggest fall and manufacturing was also down, with construction up slightly. The economy is now 9% below its pre-pandemic high.
