Hopes from UK’s trade with India

The trade deal offers wider access to a surging economy and could make food imports cheaper.

After more than three years and 14 rounds of negotiations, the United Kingdom and India have finally announced a free trade agreement (FTA). UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer will formally sign the deal on a visit to India later this year. This is the biggest and most economically significant bilateral trade deal the UK has struck since leaving the EU. It will have implications for both businesses and workers.
