Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps her Department has taken to help increase exports to Belgium in the last two years.

The Government is committed to driving forward export growth and helping UK businesses export to markets across the globe including Belgium. UK exports to Belgium amounted to £25.3 billion in the 12 months to September 2023, an increase of 3.5% or £0.9 billion in current prices compared to the previous 12 months, making Belgium the UK's 8th largest export market.

UK businesses can access DBT's wealth of export support via Great.gov.uk. This comprises a digital self-serve offer and our wider network of support, including trade advisers, Export Champions, the Export Academy, our International Markets network and UK Export Finance.
