UK goods trade deficit narrows to $26.2B in August, below expectations
Anadolu Agency EN·GB·about 7 hours ago
The UK's trade deficit contracted to £920 million in August 2026 from a revised £2.32 billion in July, a sharper improvement than expected. The narrowing suggests strengthening export performance or import compression, though the underlying drivers are not specified. This could signal improved net trade contribution to Q3 GDP, but sustainability remains uncertain.
