answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/01/2023 answer text <p>Our ambition, set out in the Export Strategy in November 2021, is for the UK to achieve £1 trillion exports per year by 2030. The latest Office for National Statistics figures show that UK exports were £758.5bn in the 12 months ending October 2022.</p><p> </p><p>Extrapolations of the Office for Budget Responsibility forecast suggest £1 trillion exports could be achieved by around 2035 without additional intervention. We recognise the speed by which the UK reaches this milestone will be impacted by macro-economic factors such as global demand and exchange rates. This has proven to be the case over the past year where we have experienced external shocks and a spike in inflation.</p> answering member constituency West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine answering member printed Andrew Bowie question first answered 12/01/2023 11:28:02 answering member 4601 label Biography information for Andrew Bowie
