The Governor of the Bank of England has advocated for a renewed focus on rebuilding the UK’s trade relationship with the European Union, emphasizing the need to maximize long-term trade benefits following Thursday’s US trade agreement.

Andrew Bailey, while maintaining a neutral stance on Brexit as a public official, highlighted the economic advantages of mitigating the negative impact of post-Brexit trade friction with the EU.

The UK government is currently engaged in discussions with the EU to redefine their trade and security relationship, in advance of a summit later this month.

The recent US trade deal has opened an opportunity for a UK-EU veterinary agreement, potentially harmonizing standards to streamline food, agricultural, and fisheries exports.

Under the new US-UK agreement, the US will reduce import tariffs on certain British cars and allow tariff-free entry for some steel and aluminum.

However, a 10% tariff will remain on most UK goods.

Regarding the economic and inflationary implications of closer UK-EU ties, Mr. Bailey stated that improved trade with the EU would be beneficial, given the decline in goods trade in recent years.

He emphasized the EU’s significance as the UK’s largest trading partner.

Mr. Bailey stressed the importance of safeguarding long-term trade prospects through Brexit-related decisions and expressed optimism about rebuilding the UK-EU relationship.

The Governor also lauded the UK’s global deal-making as a positive example for other nations, stating that it demonstrates the importance and feasibility of trade agreements and contributes to rebuilding the global trading system.
