The United Kingdom’s trade deficit in goods with non-EU countries narrowed to £5.29 billion in August 2026 from a revised £8.19 billion in July, marking the smallest gap in seven months, as exports rose while imports fell. Exports grew 5.9% month-on-month to £20.33 billion, mainly supported by a £0.3 billion increase in chemical exports, linked to higher exports of inorganic chemicals to the United States. Meanwhile, imports fell 6.4% to a seven-month low of £25.61 billion, due to a £1.2 billion decline in imports of machinery and transport equipment, reflecting lower imports of aircraft from the United States and ships from China. source: Office for National Statistics
