RUSSELS, BELGIUM, April 25, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — Flanders Investment & Trade, the official government body for the Flanders region of Belgium, has today published its full-year trade figures for 2022, which reveal that the total value of exports from the UK to Flanders was 134.56% higher than in 2021. Total UK exports to Flanders in 2022 amounted to €33.77 billion.
UK exports to Flanders showed strong signs of recovery in 2022 following their post-Brexit decline, but that growth is slowing down in 2023, due to declining energy and flattening commodity prices which distorted the 2022 figures. In January 2023, the UK exported €1.82 billion worth of goods to Flanders, a 20.55% increase compared with the same period a year earlier.
