For items that require an export licence, the Government publishes Official Statistics (on a quarterly and annual basis) detailing licences granted and refused for exports on GOV.UK:

https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/strategic-export-controls-licensing-data

Export licence applications are rigorously assessed on a case-by-case basis against the Consolidated EU and National Arms Export Licensing Criteria, taking account of all prevailing circumstances at the time of the application.

For materials and software that are not controlled we do not hold records of the amounts exported specifically to the Egyptian police and internal security forces.

There is a clear potential for UK companies in Brazil with the world’s 5th largest population and the 9th largest economy (by GDP).

Total UK-Brazil trade reached £5.5 billion in 2017. Brazil is the largest destination of UK exports and the largest receiver of UK investment in Latin America. The new Bolsonaro government has stated ambitions around economic reform and leaving the EU will allow the UK to take advantage of the growing parts of the world economy, including South America. UK Export Finance has significant capacity to support UK exports to Brazil.

My Rt Hon Friend for Hertford and Stortford (Mark Prisk MP) was appointed as the Prime Minister’s Trade Envoy to Brazil in 2016 to promote further bilateral trade and investment. The UK and Brazil also have a number of bilateral dialogues including the Joint Economic and Trade Committee (JETCO). During the 10th edition held in London last year, chaired by my Rt Hon Friend the Secretary of State for International Trade, Brazil and the UK reaffirmed their commitment to exploring means to deepen future UK-Brazil trade and investment relations. This has been formalised through the Joint Trade Review, examining the business environment and market access issues so as to identify ways to increase opportunities for firms from both countries. Last year, the Secretary of State also appointed the first HM Trade Commissioner to Latin America, responsible for championing trade between the UK and Latin America.

This is an exciting time in UK-Argentine relations. The Prime Minister was warmly received at the G20 in Buenos Aires in December. Leaving the EU will allow the UK to take advantage of the growing parts of the world economy, including South America.

UK market share in Argentina is less than 1% (0.8%) for goods and just over 2% (2.1%) for services. There is therefore great potential for growth in the UK-Argentine trade and investment relationship and we are working to support UK companies to reclaim their position as one of Argentina’s pre-eminent business partners.

Last year, my Rt Hon Friend the Secretary of State for International Trade appointed the first HM Trade Commissioner to Latin America, responsible for championing trade between the UK and Latin America. In addition, my Hon Friend for Fylde (Mark Menzies MP) was announced as the Prime Minister’s Trade Envoy to Argentina in December and is already working to promote further bilateral trade and investment. We also have a UK-Argentine Commercial Dialogue, agreed with the Argentine Commerce Ministry last year and chaired by my Hon Friend the Minister of State for Investment (Graham Stuart).

UK Export Finance has significant capacity to support UK exports to Argentina.

Ethiopia is one of the fastest growing economies in the world and has sustained strong and consistent growth for 14 years. The trading relationship between the UK and Ethiopia is currently worth £699m per annum.

In Ethiopia the Government is promoting bilateral trading opportunities in a number of industries, including aerospace, infrastructure and renewable-energy.

My Rt Hon Friend the Secretary of State for International Trade has recently appointed the first HM Trade Commissioner to Africa, who champions trade between the UK and the continent. In addition, my hon Friend for Stafford (Jeremy Lefroy MP) is the Prime Minister’s Trade Envoy and has visited Ethiopia 5 times to promote UK trade and investment to the country.
