Trade • Partnerships and UK’s new era of growth

The UK government promised to make the UK the best country to do business.

- Nik Mehta

We are delivering. Our economy recently received two huge votes of confidence.

First, the UK struck a landmark Free Trade Agreement with India – the fastest-growing economy in the G-20. The agreement is the most generous in India’s history, and it will make trade between our countries seamless.

Second, the UK became the first country to secure an economic deal with the Trump administration. This will reduce tariffs across a range of sectors, from steel and aluminium to automotives, and cuts costs for businesses operating in the UK.

Some said these deals would never be done. But the US and India saw in the UK a country with strong economic foundations. A trusted partner ready to negotiate constructively. An innovative economy embracing new trends like AI.
