Brexit: UK and Japan to start negotiations over trade deal

It's taken a while, but hey this could be worth so much more especially given we already have a deal within the EU.

"Japan is currently the UK’s 11th largest trading partner, and the fourth largest outside the EU."

So how much is this wonderful deal worth, one asks?

"The government says a bilateral trade deal could bolster GDP by around 0.07 per cent, or £1.5bn"

Wow!

A deal with Japan worth as much as 0.07% of GDP!

Not exactly one of those wonderful (and easiest) deals we were promised is it!
 
I think the Japanese just like the Germans are inclined to buy their own products. :) THe EU's deal with Canada took 7 years to sort out
