Details

This paper sets out the economic rationale and evidence that supports the government’s approach to export promotion in the Department for International Trade’s (DIT) export plan - Made in the UK, Sold to the World.

The analytical framework outlines:

  • the economic benefits of exports
  • the economic opportunities for UK businesses
  • the positive impacts of export promotion and the approach to monitoring these impacts

The purpose of the paper is to open a dialogue about the evidence underpinning trade promotion activities and how it can be improved.

This was published originally by Department for International Trade (DIT) which has since moved to the Department for Business and Trade (DBT).
