(DBT).
The UK government Department for Business and Trade is responsible for:
- Securing free trade agreements and reducing market access barriers, ensuring that UK consumers and businesses can benefit from both.
- Delivering economic growth throughout the UK through attracting and retaining inward investment.
- Supporting UK business to take full advantage of trade opportunities, including those arising from delivering free trade agreements and facilitating UK exports.
- Championing the international trading system and operating the UK’s post-Brexit trading system, including protecting UK businesses from unfair trade practices.
The DBT was formed from the merger of the former Department for International Trade (DIT) and the business functions of the former Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) in February 2023.
