German ambassador to UK tweets concern over rapid decline in trade since Brexit

"Britain has traditionally been Germany’s fifth largest trading partner. In 2022 UK will drop out of the list of the TOP 10"

Miguel Berger, the German ambassador to the United Kingdom, has expressed concern over the rapidly declining levels of trade between the two countries since Brexit.

Figures show Britain has gone from being Germany’s fifth-largest trading partner to falling outside of its top 10 in just a few years.

It echoes findings from the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) suggesting Brexit has had a “significant adverse impact on UK trade”.

The government-funded body estimates that the split will result in the UK’s trade intensity being 15 per cent lower in the long run than if the country had remained in the EU.

Commenting in the Guardian, William Keegan said Brexit has made Britain ‘the sick man of Europe again’ due to the impending fall in prosperity.

UK 🇬🇧 is Germany’s third export market, but we are concerned that trade between 🇬🇧🇩🇪 has continuously declined since the Brexit referendum.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
