COVID-19: UK industry focus – Where next for UK trade, investment and aid?

COVID-19 is a crisis for which few, if any, were prepared. Its direct impact and the consequences of efforts to mitigate its spread are putting global collaboration to the test. The situation requires an urgent response to save lives, livelihoods and economies.

Post-COVID-19, the UK has a once in a lifetime opportunity to recast its role in the world. That role – with trade, investment, and development aid at its core – is instrumental to a collective recovery, not least in supporting fair, inclusive, and sustainable growth across the UK. 

Our experts discuss the three imperatives to help guide the UK’s trade, investment and development aid action plan which will help lay the foundations for the future. 

“We believe that the UK can emerge stronger from COVID-19 if it takes swift action, is ambitious about reimagining a better future, plays to its strength, builds on its values and works in partnership with others.”
