The Future of UK Trade Policy after Brexit

What impact has Brexit really had on UK trade? Could new trade agreements – like the UK’s accession to CPTPP, a trade bloc covering 11 countries and over 500 million people – have a significant long-term impact? And what do changing attitudes towards globalisation – the rise of what The Economist calls ‘homeland economics’ – mean for the future of UK trade policy? Join us at the IEA for a discussion of these and other trade-related issues.

The IEA hosted a panel discussion in January to answer these questions. Chaired by Tom Clougherty (Executive Director at the Institute of Economic Affairs), speakers include Catherine McBride (Fellow at the Centre for Brexit Policy); John Springford (Associate Fellow at the Centre for European Reform); Julian Jessop (Independent Economist and Economics Fellow at the Institute of Economic Affairs).
