Attending the launch of new trade negotiations between the UK and Turkiye, BCC Head of Trade Policy, William Bain, said: 

“These negotiations can provide a real opportunity to secure a forward-looking free trade agreement with Turkiye, capable of boosting growth far beyond what’s possible under the current terms. 

“Business wants negotiators to agree ambitious provisions on services market access, business travel, digital trade and investment links. The aim should be to grow our bilateral trade overall, but with a particularly strong focus on services.”
