UK launches call for input ahead of enhanced FTA with South Korea
13 Dec 22 2 min read
The new agreement is expected to include dedicated help for smaller businesses, and provisions for investment and digital trade, which will support economic growth and jobs, UK’s department of international trade said in a press release.
The UK is already a top destination for South Korean green investment and could become an even more attractive country to do business in under a new deal.
South Korea and the UK have already signed an agreement to strengthen supply chain resilience confronting global shortages.
- Monthly UK production output up by estimated 0.2% in March
- Bangladesh business leaders meet to discuss RMG sector challenges
- UK real GDP grows by estimated 0.4% MoM, 0.7% YoY in Mar 2024: ONS
- Sri Lankan exporters urge focus on favourable FTAs
- Developed Europe faces economic shifts amid monetary policy adjustment
- New Zealand & UAE Initiate Free Trade Agreement Negotiations
The agreement will help to ensure the smooth flow of key supplies between the two countries, which will support businesses and public services to avoid supply shortages.
“South Korea is a growing market for top-quality British products and services and forms a key part of the UK’s renewed focus on the Indo-Pacific region, securing stronger ties with economies of the future. The opportunities presented by increasing our trade with South Korea are significant, not least in digitally delivered trade, which accounted for 79 per cent of UK services exports to South Korea in 2020,” said minister for trade policy, Greg Hands.
