UK Trade Policy Review Explained: Post-Brexit Strategy, Growth, and Economic Security

Episode Summary

In this episode of the Trade Knowledge Matters podcast, we take a deep dive into the first independent review of the UK’s trade policy since it gained full control of its trade framework following its departure from the European Union. This comprehensive analysis was conducted through a collaboration between Frontier Economics, the UK Trade Policy Observatory (UKTPO), and the Centre for Inclusive Trade Policy (CITP).

The discussion, moderated by Javier Gutierrez (Counsellor, WTO), features Professor Michael Gasiorek(Director of UKTPO and CITP) and Amar Breckenridge (Senior Associate, Frontier Economics). Together, they explore the shift from purely descriptive trade monitoring to a more analytical approach that examines why policies are pursued and how they interact with broader societal goals.
