To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is their assessment for the last full year of the balance of trade between the United Kingdom and Poland.
Lord Livingston of Parkhead
The Minister of State, Foreign and Commonwealth Office, The Minister of State, Department for Business, Innovation and Skills
In 2013 the UK had a trade deficit with Poland of £4.3 billion. This consists of UK exports to Poland of £5.2 billion and UK imports from Poland of £9.5 billion in 2013. These data are taken from The United Kingdom Balance of Payments 2014 (The Pink Book).
HMG is actively seeking to encourage more exports to Poland, including through six UKTI regional strategic campaigns in key sectors designed to match Polish opportunities with UK capabilities. There is also a new British Business Centre run by the British-Polish Chamber of Commerce in Warsaw, which provides a broader range of support to small and medium sized companies wanting to export to Poland.
