UK trade: November 2021
What's in the bulletin?
- Total imports of goods, excluding precious metals, increased by £2.0 billion (4.9%) in November 2021, because of a £0.8 billion (4.5%) increase in EU imports and a £1.1 billion (5.2%) rise in imports from non-EU countries.
- Imports from non-EU countries continue to be higher than from EU countries for the 11th consecutive month, and the gap is at its widest point of the year.
- Imports of fuels continue to be the main driver of the import gap between EU and non-EU countries in recent months, despite small decreases compared with October 2021 levels.
