Question to the Wales Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, what proportion of total Welsh exports in (a) goods and (b) services went to the Middle East in 2016.
This question was answered on 23rd October 2017
In 2016, 8.5% of all goods exported from Wales went to the Middle East. Figures for service exports are not yet available for 2016. In 2015, 14.2% of all services exported from Wales went to Asia, which is where the Office for National Statistics (ONS) categorises Middle Eastern countries in its service exports release. The ONS does not publish data detailing what percentage of the service exports that are sent to Asia go specifically to the Middle East.
