Increasing Exports: Winning overseas
The UK has a long history as a trading nation, but its share of global exports has steadily declined. Effective steps to boost exports will play an essential part in delivering sustainable economic recovery
As part of its Increasing Exports campaign, the CBI is calling on government to introduce a credible exports strategy that focuses on the right products and services, concentrates efforts on high-growth markets and breaks down domestic barriers - and could give the UK economy a £20bn lift by 2020.
