<p>Burnley and the wider North West economy already benefit from the higher productivity
and better-quality jobs associated with international trade. According to new experimental
research, 630,000 jobs in the region were estimated to be linked to exports in 2016,
and Foreign Direct Investment projects created over 5,000 new jobs in 2019-20.We are
confident the new Free Trade Agreements we are striking around the world will create
even more opportunities for Burnley companies and that this increased trade will help
level up the UK economy further.</p>
