Not "what is?", but "why?"

Because we are a small nation compared to 26 other nations. Do you think the values are similar ? How many of the 26 will have exports decrease 40% or more to the UK ?

Not "what is?", but "why?"

No idea, Maybe you could clarify?

 

[securespark]

It was a genuine question, I have no agenda!

Ok, well according to some sources. Exports down due to disruption following the UKs departure from the EU, imports down due to same and stockpiling in December.

Because there are restrictions (non-tariff barriers) to exports from UK to EU, therefore exports are greatly affected. There are no such restrictions for imports to UK as they haven't introduced the checks yet, and have delayed the introduction of checks for a further six months, therefore imports are less affected.

Is that down from the previous month or a comparison with previous years?

Not really true, there is the whole VAT debacle to consider too.
