According to the Office for National Statistics, the value of goods imports in UK decreased by £0.3 billion (0.6%) in November 2024, because imports from the EU fell while imports from non-EU countries remained stable.
The value of goods exports rose by £0.2 billion (0.8%) in November 2024, with a rise in exports to non-EU countries partially offset by a fall in exports to the EU.
The total goods and services trade deficit widened by £3.8 billion to £10.8 billion in the three months to November 2024, because of a larger fall in exports than imports.
The trade in goods deficit widened by £1.8 billion to £54.1 billion in the three months to November 2024, while the trade in services surplus is estimated to have narrowed by around £1.9 billion to £43.3 billion.
