WIESBADEN – One year after the United Kingdom left the European Union, German exports to the UK continued to decline. Based on first provisional results, the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis) reports that Germany exported goods to the value of 65.4 billion euros to the United Kingdom in 2021. Compared with 2020, exports to the United Kingdom decreased further by 2.5% in 2021 as a result of the Brexit, following a year-on-year decline of 15.3% in 2020, the year dominated by the Covid-19 pandemic. The data for the entire year 2021 are based on a first release of the export figures available for December 2021.
