answer text

The Department is focused on supporting projects that maximise wealth creation across the UK. This wealth creation includes jobs, innovation and productivity. The balance of trade in goods is only one element contributing to the UK’s current account balance. As the world economy recovers the current account deficit should narrow, in line with the Office for Budget Responsibility’s forecast of -2.0% of GDP in 2021. The Government is supporting exports through UK Export Finance which has provided £14bn in support for UK exporters in the last five years and the Department for International Trade helping over 2,800 businesses new to exporting.
