Notes to Editors
- Not all the trade barriers that are part of the £2.3m fund can be made public due to commercial or diplomatic sensitivity.바카라 사이트¯Â
- The data on trade barriers to be resolved by the £2.3m fund is extracted from the Digital Market Access Service (DMAS). DMAS is not a comprehensive repository of all market access issues facing UK exporters, and reporting rates vary widely across countries and regions바카라 사이트¯Â
- The £2.3m fund will be used to aid the resolution of 36 barriers in scope 바카라 사이트“ the aggregate valuation of these barriers is around £5bn over 5 years. The aggregate figure of around £300m over 5 years is for a sample of 6 barriers only. To calculate the aggregate figures, the mid-point for each valuation range is estimated over a five-year period and added to provide a central estimate. Further details on the methodology for the aggregate valuation figures are published in a . In some cases, estimates may have been sourced externally from industry.바카라 사이트¯Â
- The figure of around £135 in export value per pound over five years is calculated by dividing £300m by the cost of the fund (£2.3m). This is a potential export win and it should not be interpreted that every additional pound might get another £135 in return.
