Pivot: the UK’s new Indo-Pacific trade focus (Resolution Foundation)
26/01/2022, 9:30 am - 10:45 am
The UK’s exit from the EU has given it the freedom to pursue an independent trade strategy for the first time in four decades. To date, post-Brexit trade debate has focused on lost access to EU markets, roll-over deals preserving the status quo, and a lack of progress with the US. But the start of trade negotiations with India last week marks an attempt to start a fresh chapter in the UK’s trade strategy – a pivot towards distant but fast growing markets of the Indo-Pacific region.
Webinar hosted by the Resolution Foundation about the opportunities and challenges from this new strategy.
Speakers:
- John Alty, Permanent Secretary of the Department for International Trade
- Anna Isaac, Economics Editor at The Independent
- Sally Jones, UK Trade Strategy and Brexit leader at Ernest and Young
- Sophie Hale, Principal Economist at the Resolution Foundation
Chair: Torsten Bell, Chief Executive of the Resolution Foundation
