The IEA will be hosting an upcoming panel discussion on ‘The Future of UK Trade Policy after Brexit’, which is taking place on Tuesday 30^th January from 17:30 – 20:00. This will be held at the IEA (2 Lord North Street, Westminster, London, SW1P 3LB).

What impact has Brexit really had on UK trade? Could new trade agreements – like the UK’s accession to CPTPP, a trade bloc covering 11 countries and over 500 million people – have a significant long-term impact? And what do changing attitudes towards globalisation – the rise of what The Economist calls ‘homeland economics’ – mean for the future of UK trade policy? Join us at the IEA for a discussion of these and other trade-related issues.

Chaired by Tom Clougherty (Executive Director at the Institute of Economic Affairs), speakers include Catherine McBride (Fellow at the Centre for Brexit Policy); John Springford (Associate Fellow at the Centre for European Reform); Julian Jessop (Independent Economist and Economics Fellow at the Institute of Economic Affairs).

The discussion starts at 18:00 and will be preceded by drinks from 17:30. Spaces are limited and will be given on a first-come-first-serve basis. If you would like to attend, please RSVP to vipevents@iea.org.uk or call 020 7799 8910.
