Exports are up but so are imports, according to the latest trade figures, which show the trade deficit in goods and services widening from £2.2 billion in August to £3.5 billion in September. Exports rose by £0.7 billion on the month, imports by £1.9 billion. In the latest three months, export volumes rose by 2.4%, imports by 3.2%. Both were substantially down, however, by 12.8% and 13.5%, on a year earlier. More details here.
