An Ex-Ante Assessment of Pakistan-UK Free Trade Agreement on Pakistan's Trade Revenue and Welfare

The UK is engaged in signing numerous free trade agreements (FTAs) with its trading partners following its withdrawal from the European Union (‘Brexit’).

There is growing concern from the Government of Pakistan on the future of sustainable preferential trade with the UK. Although Pakistan’s products currently have market access to the UK under the enhanced GSP, there is no certainty on the
sustainability of trade under this framework/trade regime.
