Services trade in the United Kingdom and the global economy
Services play a more important role in trade and employment in the United Kingdom
than in most other OECD countries. The UK services sector is supported by an open
and transparent trade regime, policies that support competition and innovation, and
regulatory transparency that facilitates the creation of new services businesses and
start-ups. That said, certain barriers to services trade remain. This report sheds
light on the role of services trade in the UK economy, describing recent trends and
highlighting future challenges, and explores policy options to support a sustainable
recovery from the COVID-19 crisis.
