Think tank Brexit proposition | UK-China golden era | Ecommerce & GDPR

Think tank, IPPR, proposes a post-Brexit trading deal

The Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) is the UK’s leading progressive think tank. They have proposed the creation of a trade deal based on a ‘shared market’ between the UK and EU. This shared market model would hope to keep the benefits of a single market while allowing variance from EU rules over time.

According to IPPR Director Tom Kibasi it “honours the referendum result” while safeguarding Britain’s economic interests. The think tank has suggested that the EU would also benefit from the scale of the UK‘s economy in future trade negotiations.

Golden Era for UK-China relations

At the end of last week Chancellor Phillip Hammond held talks with the Chinese Vice Premier Ma Kai, during which both countries reaffirmed their commitment to developing a global partnership.

The Economic and Financial Dialogue (EFD) involved events promoting the UK’s world-leading expertise in trade and financial services. The Governor of the Bank of England, Mark Carney and the CEO of London Stock Exchange plc, were also in attendance.
