Economic Situation: Northern Ireland
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what assessment has been made of the potential impact of Brexit on Northern Ireland’s economy.
Answered by Northern Ireland Office
Under the Windsor Framework, Northern Ireland is in a unique position as the only place in the world where businesses can sell goods into the UK Internal Market and the EU Single Market without customs friction or tariffs.
A growing chorus of businesses across a range of sectors have publicly cited dual market access as beneficial to their business performance and future growth opportunities.
Northern Ireland has one of the strongest economies in the whole of the UK and has experienced one of the fastest rates of economic growth since Brexit.
