Mumbai, Oct. 16 -- Britain's trade deficit widened to £3.39 billion in August 2025, the biggest since March, as exports slipped 1.2% to £77.42 billion and imports eased 0.7% to £80.81 billion. Goods exports tumbled 3.6%, hit by weaker shipments to the EU - especially Germany - and a £0.7 billion drop in exports to the US. Services trade offered some relief, with exports up 0.5%. The data highlights soft global demand and persistent weakness in UK goods trade despite modest gains in services.
