Abstract

COVID-19 and Brexit will together cause major disruption to UK supply chains. The impact of this disruption is likely to vary across different UK regions. Consequently, detailed regional statistics are needed to analyse differences in economic activity and inform region-specific policymaking and devolution. The production of UK interregional trade estimates at the sectoral level as part of this project raised several issues about the differential collection of trade data at the national and subnational level.
