The UK is negotiating a modern, comprehensive, and ambitious trade deal with the GCC. Government analysis shows that in the long run a deal is expected to increase trade by at least 16% and add £1.6 billion a year to the UK economy.
We continue to work with GCC members to uncover and remove trade barriers to boost trade, and to drive forward investment into the UK, creating jobs and supporting the UK economy.
