They really should've succeeded in opening up Argentina. They almost had the license plate manufacturing market. In more ways than one.

Always the biggest surprise on these trading partner quizes is that India is almost never an answer.

It is there now.

Pretty easy but I was also surprised not to see India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka or Indonesia on here. Tiny Singapore beats them all.

Level 56

May 29, 2025

Singapore is a huge port.

It has a lot of export-import going on.

India is there now.

Bangladesh and Sri Lanka are not major importers or exporters.

Level 65

Surprising that more oil and gas countries were not included.

Level 77

there's still some North Sea oil and gas left, though slowly reducing.

Four years later... it didn't really change much at all. Except that the trade deficit with China yawns ever wider.

It wouldn't have changed in 2020 as the transitional agreement meant that all the former rules continued to apply. The 2021 figures will be more significant.

Amazing how a lot of the countries that they trade with are also countries they were at war with as well.

Level 29

That's because England has been to war with most countries.

Singapore is there but no Brazil, South Korea, Philippines, Australia or Indonesia?

Level 82

Oct 20, 2021

And India!

Level 77

Oct 20, 2021

I suspect that because Singapore is a regional shipping/trading/commercial hub many British goods exported to Singapore ultimately do end up in India just via Singapore. Those goods statistically then count as exports from Singapore to India even though they are only the intermediary.

It's appropriate that she is a container ship, involved in international trade. But sometimes that trade may be a little slower than anticipated.

It's striking that Japan's there for exports but not imports. Presumably that would have been very different 20 years ago.

Level 61

Nov 16, 2021

Japan has very little natural resources, so no materials, and pretty much no food. Technology would be the main import I suppose, but that's definitely not more than any other countries.

So it turns out that erecting trade barriers with the largest trading bloc in the world, that also happens to be on our doorstep, leads to a reduction in economic output.

Who’d have thunk it? Revelatory stuff…

Almost as if the Brexit vote had nothing at all to do with economics in the popular imagination, no matter how hard remainers tried to convince everyone it was, and was more about not wanting open borders and European human rights preventing the deportation of child rapists. Who woulda whup-di-do, knee-bendingly thunk it?

I’m not British, but just from reading your paragraph I’m now firmly anti-Brexit.

The Uniteds trade with each other.
