UK Overseas Trade Statistics - UK Trade with the European Union - April 2012


April?2012

?

Date:?19 June 2012

?

Coverage:?? United Kingdom

Theme:? Business & Energy?

?

The value of exports and imports with EU Member States in April both decreased compared to March.? This repeats the pattern seen in the previous three years where April values have been lower than seasonally high March values for both imports and exports. However the decreases this month are larger than those seen previously. Exports fell slightly more than imports. Consequently the difference between imports and exports has increased slightly compared with March.??

Key Points

  • UK?s EU exports have decreased by ?2.9 billion (20.3 per cent) compared to March 2012, to ?11.4 billion. Compared to April 2011 exports have decreased by ?1.5 billion (11.8 per cent).?
  • UK?s EU imports have decreased by ?2.7 billion (14.1 per cent) compared to March 2012, to ?16.4 billion. However, compared to April 2011 imports marginally increased by ?0.8 billion (4.9 per cent).
  • The UK remains a net importer (imports are greater than exports). The size of difference between imports and exports has increased by 4.7 per cent compared to March 2012, but when compared to April 2011 the gap has increased considerably, by 85.6 per cent.
