ONS UK Trade – Barclays Comment

09 Oct 2012 09:57 GMT

Kah Chye Tan, Head of Trade and Working Capital at Barclays comments on today's ONS UK Trade statistics.

“UK exporters continue to be hit by on-going weak global economic growth, with our largest export market, the Eurozone, at the centre of this fragility. Market volatility remains a cause for concern and until there is a clear line of sight on what further spend will look like, it will continue to be a challenging year.”
