  • UK exports have declined compared to several years ago.

    Machinery and chemicals exports are strong, small business exports to the EU are screwed.

    Some business sectors will be helped by a lower £ but am pessimistic about good jobs / rent and mortgages / food prices. Because 40% is imported and there still is no good food strategy to address that.

    I doubt the extra exports can offset all those downsides by generating some more jobs.

    Yes, that's part of the balance that needs redressing. A weak currency helps as long as the materials are not imported, which of course they are largely.

    tangentially related to industry and import/exports is the fact it all needs the black stuff...and we have to buy oil & gas in dollars.
