As we move through the third quarter of 2025, global trade continues to evolve at pace, presenting both challenges and exciting opportunities for UK exporters and importers. In this month’s edition, we turn our attention to key developments shaping the landscape - from the latest African Trade Report to the much anticipated UK–India trade agreement, which could unlock significant market access across multiple sectors.

We also explore updates affecting British steel, insights from the British Chambers of Commerce and UK Government, and the newly released WTO 2025 Report. For those tracking international developments, our round-up of world trade expos and events may be of particular interest.
