Brexit boosts British factory sales to EU

Hello to you, young reader of the little AutoNews! Today, we will talk about

More Exports to the EU

Even though people thought Brexit would make it harder for British factories to sell things to the EU, it turns out they are actually selling more. Last year, 52% of the things made in British factories were sold to the EU, which is more than in 2019. This is surprising because many people thought Brexit would hurt British factories.

Scotland and Northern Ireland Boost Trade

The reason why British factories are selling more to the EU is partly because of Scotland and Northern Ireland. Scotland sold more things for the oil and gas industry when there was an energy crisis. Northern Ireland also benefited from a deal called the Northern Ireland Protocol, which let them keep selling things freely to the EU. These things helped increase trade with the EU.

Word of the day: Trade

Trade means buying or selling things. When we talk about trade between countries, it means that they are buying or selling things to each other. Trade is important because it helps countries make money and get the things they need. Sometimes, trade patterns change, and countries start buying or selling things to different places. British factories are selling more things to the EU right now, but they are also looking for other places to sell things to. See you soon for new articles!
